Simple interest = (P × R × T)/100

Compound Interest = P [1 + R/100]n - P

where P is the principal, R is the rate of interest and T is the time- period

P = 4000

R = 30%

T = 3 years

SI = (4000 × 30 × 3)/100 = Rs. 3600

CI = 4000 [1 + 30/100]3 - 4000 = 8788 - 4000 = Rs. 4788

∴ Difference = 4788 - 3600 = Rs. 1188
