    B Rs.5,149.28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.7,149.28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3,149.28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Interest received from scheme ‘X’ = (7500 × 12 × 3) ÷ 100 = Rs. 2,700

    Total amount received from scheme ‘Y’ = 2700 × {1 + (8/100)}² = 2700 × (108/100)²

    = 2700 × 1.1664 = Rs. 3,149.28
