• C. Rs. 40.40
• D. Rs. 64.10

Explanation: Compound interest after 4 years is Rs. 1000[(1.10)^4 - 1] = Rs. 464.10, whereas simple interest is Rs. 1000 x 10 x 4 / 100 = Rs. 400.

• A. Rs. 51.25
• B. Rs. 52
• C. Rs. 54.25
• D. Rs. 60

Explanation: From simple interest, Rs. 50 = P x 5 x 2 / 100, so the principal is P = Rs. 500. Compound interest for 2 years is Rs.
