The question in the image is written in Hindi and involves finding the value of \( P \) based on an investment problem involving simple and compound interest.

### Translation of the Problem:

A person invested two amounts, \( 2P \) rupees and \( P \) rupees, at two different rates: 
- \( 2P \) rupees at 8% compound interest (compounded annually) 
- \( P \) rupees at 15% simple interest for 2 years.

After two years, the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest earned is ₹410. You are required to find the value of \( P \).

### Solution Approach:

1. **Simple Interest (SI) on \( P \) at 15% for 2 years**:
   \[
   \text{SI} = \frac{P \times 15 \times 2}{100} = 0.3P
   \]

2. **Compound Interest (CI) on \( 2P \) at 8% for 2 years**:
   The formula for compound interest is:
   \[
   \text{CI} = 2P \left[ \left( 1 + \frac{8}{100} \right)^2 - 1 \right]
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   \text{CI} = 2P \left[ \left( 1 + 0.08 \right)^2 - 1 \right] = 2P \left( 1.1664 - 1 \right) = 2P \times 0.1664 = 0.3328P
   \]

3. **Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest**:
   According to the question, the difference is ₹410:
   \[
   0.3328P - 0.3P = 410
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   0.0328P = 410
   \]
   \[
   P = \frac{410}{0.0328} = 12500
   \]

Thus, the value of \( P \) is ₹12,500.

### Final Answer:
The correct option is **A) 12,500**.

2. What is the total amount of compound interest earned after 2 years?
3. How would the time period affect the difference between simple and compound interest?
4. What would the formula be for compound interest compounded monthly?
