      Solution

      ATQ, Amount after 4 years at SI = 9/5 P 2/3rd of this amount = 6/5 P Interest after 2 years at CI = 6/5 P Γ— 21/100 = 63P/250 Now checking the options: I. Rs.15000 Interest = 63/250 Γ— 15000 = 3780 βœ… II. Rs.25000 Interest = 63/250 Γ— 25000 = 6300 βœ… III. Rs.40000 Interest = 63/250 Γ— 40000 = 10080 βœ… IV. Rs.45000 Interest = 63/250 Γ— 45000 = 11340, not 11300 ❌ Hence, Only I, II and III are correct.
