Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

Given: Principal (P) = ₹ 4900 Time (T) = 2 years Difference between Compound Interest (CI) and Simple Interest (SI) = ₹ 100

We know that the difference between CI and SI for 2 years is given by the formula:

CI - SI = P*(R/100)^2

Where R is the rate of interest.

We can substitute the given values into this formula to find the rate of interest.

100 = 4900*(R/100)^2

Solving this equation for R gives:

R^2 = (100 * 100 * 2) / 4900

R^2 = 400 / 49

Taking the square root of both sides to solve for R gives:

R = √(400 / 49)

R = 20 / 7

So, the rate of interest is 20/7 = 2.8571 or approximately 2.86% per annum.
