For 2 years, the difference between compound interest and simple interest is P * (R/100)^2. Difference = 2500 * (4/100)^2 = 2500 * (0.04)^2 = 2500 * 0.0016 = 4.

AI explanation

Using the standard formula for the difference between compound interest and simple interest for two years, which is Principal multiplied by the square of the rate divided by 10000, we calculate the difference as 2500 x 4 x 4 / 10000. Multiplying the values gives 40000 / 10000, which equals Rs. 4.
