Question

    The simple interest received on a certain sum is Rs. 250

    less than the sum invested. If the sum was invested at 15% p.a. for 4 years, then find the simple interest received.
    A Rs. 305 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 370 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 365 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. x Therefore, simple interest received = Rs. (x – 250) According to the question, {(x × 15 × 4)/100} = x – 250 => 0.6x = x – 250 => 0.4x = 250 => x = 250/0.4 = 625 Therefore, simple interest received = x – 250 = 625– 250= Rs. 375
