A man invested ₹4,400 at 10% and ₹7,500 at 8% simple interest. What amount (in) will he get from his investments after 12 years? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 24,380.

SI = (P × R × T) / 100

1st investment: ₹4,400 at 10% for 12 years

SI₁ = (4400 × 10 × 12) / 100 = ₹5,280

2nd investment: ₹7,500 at 8% for 12 years

SI₂ = (7500 × 8 × 12) / 100 = ₹7,200

Total interest = 5280 + 7200 = ₹12,480

Total principal = 4400 + 7500 = ₹11,900

Total amount = 11,900 + 12,480 = ₹24,380
