Answer Explanation Given $\mathrm{A}=2400, \mathrm{R}=5 \%, \mathrm{T}=4$ year $$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{TD}=\frac{\mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}}{100+\mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}} \\ & =\frac{2400 \times 4 \times 5}{100+20}=₹ 400 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{SI}-\mathrm{TD}=\frac{\mathrm{TD} \times \mathrm{R} \times \mathrm{T}}{100} \\ & =\frac{400 \times 5 \times 4}{100}=₹ 80 \end{aligned}$$
