Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Step 1: The difference between compound interest (CI) and simple interest (SI) for 2 years is given by the formula:

Difference = P × (r/100)²

Step 2: Substitute the given values: Difference = 15, r = 5.

15 = P × (5/100)²

15 = P × 0.0025

Step 3: Solve for P:

P = 15 / 0.0025 = 6,000

हिन्दी उत्तर:

चरण 1: 2 वर्षों के लिए चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज और सरल ब्याज का अंतर निम्नलिखित सूत्र द्वारा दिया जाता है: अंतर = P × (r/100)²

चरण 2: दिए गए मानों को प्रतिस्थापित करें: अंतर = 15, r = 5।

15 = P × (5/100)²

15 = P × 0.0025

चरण 3: P के लिए हल करें:

P = 15 / 0.0025 = 6,000
