The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 410. Find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for the same time.
A. Rs. 405
B. Rs. 390
C. Rs. 415
D. Rs. 400

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Effective rate of compound interest for 2 years at 5% = 5 + 5 + (55)/100 = 10.25%. Simple interest rate = 5 * 2 = 10%. Given 10.25% of sum = 410 => 1% of sum = 40. Simple Interest = 10% of sum = 10 * 40 = Rs. 400.
