Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\text{The difference between compound interest and}\\
\text{simple interest over two years is given by}\end{array}$
$\frac{\operatorname{Pr}^{2}}{100^{2}} \text { or } P\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)^{2}$
$\begin{array}{l}\text{Here, Principal (P) = Rs. 2000}\\
\text{Rate (r) = 5%}\\
\text{Now, difference,}\\
D=\frac{2000 \times 5 \times 5}{100 \times 100} \\
D=R s .5
\end{array}$
