    B Rs. 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, rate of interest be β€˜r’% per annum So, 1548 = 4800 Γ— {(1 + r/100)2 – 1} 129/400 = {(1 + r/100)2 – 1} 529/400 = (1 + r/100)2 (23/20)2 = (1 + r/100)2 23/20 = 1 + r/100 3/20 = r/100, r = 15 So, simple interest earned = 5400 Γ— 0.15 Γ— 2 = Rs. 1620 Required amount = 1620 – 1548= Rs. 72
