SSC CHSL - 20 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q61

A person takes a loan of ₹25,000 for 2 years at a rate of interest of 5%. What will be the total amount to be paid after 2 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Given:

Principal = ₹25,000

Interest rate = 5%

Time = 2 years

Formula:

SI = (P × R × T) / 100

A = P + SI

SI = (25,000 × 5 × 2) / 100 = 2500

A = 25,000 + 2500 = 27,500

Total amount = ₹27,500
