    A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Simple interest (2 years) = (5,000 × 10 × 2)/100 = 1,000 Amount by CI = 5,000 × (1.10)² = 5,000 × 1.21 = 6,050 CI = 6,050 − 5,000 = 1,050 Difference = CI − SI = 1,050 − 1,000 = 50
