    simple interest rate of 25% per annum for a period of 6 years and earns a total interest of Rs. (2p тИТ 300). What will be the total amount accrued if the same principal amount is invested at a compound interest rate of 50% per annum, compounded annually for 2 years?
    A Rs. (3p + 450) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. (2p + 350) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. (3p тАУ 450) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. (2p - 350) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
