The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs. 204. What would be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same time? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs. 204. What would be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same time?
A. Rs. 200
B. Rs. 195
C. Rs. 203
D. Rs. 202
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Effective rate of compound interest for 2 years at 4% = 4 + 4 + (44)/100 = 8.16%. Simple interest rate = 4 * 2 = 8%. Given 8.16% of sum = 204 => 1% of sum = 25. Simple Interest = 8% of sum = 8 * 25 = Rs. 200.
