    Solution

    Interest returned on investing Rs. 5000 = 5000(1 + 15/100)2 тАУ 5000 = 5000(115/100)2 тАУ 5000 = 5000(23/20)2 тАУ 5000 = 5000{232/202)- 1} = 5000{529/400)- 1} = 5000(529 - 400)/400 = Rs. 1612.5 So, interest returned on investing Rs. Y for 1 year at simple interest of 25% p.a. = 2580 + 25 = Rs. 1637.5 Or, Y ├Ч (25/100) = 1637.5 Or, Y = 1637.5 ├Ч (100/25) Or, Y = 6550
