Step-by-step explanation:
For Simple Interest (S.I):
Principal amount = P
Time = 3 years
Rate = 8% per annum
For Compound Interest (C.I):
Principal amount = Rs. 4000
Time = 2 years
Rate = 10% per annum
The formula for Simple Interest is:
Simple Interest (S.I)
=
�
×

Simple Interest (S.I)=

P×R×T
The formula for Compound Interest is:
Compound Interest (C.I)

Compound Interest (C.I)=P(1+

Given that the S.I is half the C.I and we need to find the principal amount for S.I, let's start with the calculation for C.I:
C.I

4000
C.I=4000×1.21−4000
C.I
=
4840
−
4000
C.I=4840−4000
C.I
=
840
C.I=840
Now, we're given that the S.I is half the C.I:
S.I
=

S.I=

C.I
S.I
=
840

S.I=

840
S.I
=

S.I=420
Let's use the formula for S.I to find the principal amount for S.I:
S.I

S.I=

P=1750
Therefore, the principal amount placed on Simple Interest is Rs. 1750 (Option B).
