      Akhil borrowed ₹6500 at a simple interest rate of 27% per

      annum for 8 years. After 8 years, he added ₹X to the total amount (principal + interest) and reinvested the entire sum at a simple interest rate of 15% per annum for 2 years. If the interest earned from this second investment after 2 years was ₹7200, find the value of ₹X.
      A Rs 2840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 3250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 3460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 4140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Amount received on simple interest = 6500*[1 + 27*8/100] = ₹20540
      Now,
      (20540 + X)*15*2/100 = 7200
      20540 + X = 24000
      X = ₹3460
