      Question

      Rs. (n + 400) invested on simple interest amounts to Rs.

      3,200 and Rs. 3,800 in 4 years and 6 years, respectively. Find the value of 'n'.
      A 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Interest earned in 2 years = 3,800 - 3,200 = Rs. 600
      Interest earned in 1 year = 600 ÷ 2 = Rs. 300
      Interest earned in 4 years = 300 × 4 = Rs. 1,200
      So, n + 400 = 3,200 - 1,200
      Or, n + 400 = 2,000
      Or, n = 1,600
