Just a bit of observation as lowest value starts from 10,000 so considering that as Interest for two years @5% we get P = 100,000.
Bingo!
­P - 100,000

­
How do we know that simple interest formula would be applicable here and not compound interest?
­Looking at the values given in the options. If its compound then it would have mentioned in the question.
