      Question

      A certain amount triples in 20 years under simple

      interest at a r% per annum. If Rs.15,000 is invested at (r + 5)% simple interest per annum, then find the interest earned after 4 years.
      A Rs. 9,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 8,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 7,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 10,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the principal be Rs. 'P' Then, Simple Interest = 3P - P = Rs. 2P 2P = (P Γ— r Γ— 20) / 100 2 = (r Γ— 20) / 100 r = 10 Now, new rate = (r + 5)% = 15% Simple Interest = {(15000 Γ— 15 Γ— 4) / 100} = Rs. 9,000
