    Question

    Ankit borrowed Rs.1800 from a loan company. At a certain

    rate of simple interest, the total amount becomes Rs.2124 after 3 years. If the rate of interest is increased by 50% while keeping the time period the same, what will be the new total amount?
    A Rs 2484 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 2286 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 2384 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 2542 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount borrowed = Rs.1800
    Amount after 3 years = Rs.2124
    Simple interest for 3 years = 2124 - 1800 = Rs.324
    So, rate of interest = (324*100)/ (1800* 3) = 6%
    New rate of interest = 6 * 1.5 = 9%
    Simple interest on Rs.1800 at 9% for3 years = 1800* 9* 3/100 = Rs.486
    Required amount = 486 + 1800 = Rs.2286
