Question

    Anjali invests Rs. 28,000 in scheme 'C' and Rs. 22,000 in

    scheme 'D'. Scheme 'C' gives 14% interest per annum for 2 years and scheme 'D' gives 11% per annum for 3 years. What is the difference in interest earned from both schemes?
    A Rs.580 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    We know that, simple interest = {(principal × rate × time) / 100}

    Simple interest from Scheme 'C' = (28000 × 14 × 2) / 100 = Rs. 7,840

    Simple interest from Scheme 'D' = (22000 × 11 × 3) / 100 = Rs. 7,260

    So, required difference = 7840 - 7260 = Rs. 580
