      Question

      A certain amount triples in 10 years under simple

      interest at a r% per annum. If Rs.12,000 is invested at (r + 2)% simple interest per annum, then find the interest earned after 5 years.
      A Rs. 8,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 9,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 7,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the principal be Rs. 'P' Then, Simple Interest = 3P - P = Rs. 2P 2P = (P × r × 10) / 100 2 = (r × 10) / 100 r = 20 Now, new rate = (r + 2)% = 22% Simple Interest = {(12000 × 22 × 5) / 100} = Rs. 13,200
