    B ₹140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    SI = P * R * T / 100 = 12000 * 10 * 2 / 100 = ₹2400. CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P  = 12000(1 + 10/100)^2 - 12000  = 12000(1.21) - 12000 = ₹2520. Difference = CI - SI = 2520 - 2400 = ₹120. Correct Option: a
