      A sum of Rs. 55,000 becomes Rs. 72,600 after 2 years when

      invested at simple interest at r% per annum. What will be the simple interest earned on Rs. 80,000 at (5r/8)% p.a. in 4 years?
      A Rs.32,320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.40,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.32,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.53,280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Simple interest = (Principal × rate × time) ÷ 100

      So, interest earned = Amount - Principal

      So, interest earned = 72600 - 55000 = Rs. 17,600

      So, 17600 = (55000 × r × 2) ÷ 100

      So, r = 16

      So, new rate of interest = 16 × (5/8) = 10%

      So, required interest = (80000 × 10 × 4) ÷ 100 = Rs.32,000
