If 'P' is the Principal Sum , then Compound Interest (CI) @4%, after 2 years is: CI = P{ (1+4/100) (1+4/100) -1} =P { 1+16/10000 +2*4/100 -1} = P{16/10000+2*4/100} Simple Interest SI, @ 4% after 2 years is: SI = P*2*4/100 It is given that, CI - SI= Rs.1, Substituting the values of CI and SI in the...
