    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the principal be P. Simple interest (SI) = P ├Ч R ├Ч T / 100 = P ├Ч 10 ├Ч 2 / 100 = 600 P = Rs. 3,000 Compound interest (CI) = P ├Ч (1 + R/100)^T - P CI = 3000(1 + 10/100)^2 - 3000 = 3000 ├Ч 1.21 - 3000 = 3,630 - 3,000 = Rs. 630 According to the question, CI = Rs. (x + 420) x + 420 = 630 x = 210
