SSC CPO - 9 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q150

Aman invested ₹6,000 in a scheme that gives 5% simple interest per annum. What will be the interest earned and the total amount after 5 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Principal = 6000, Rate = 5%, Time = 5 years

SI = (P × R × T) / 100

SI = (6000 × 5 × 5) / 100 = 1500

Total Amount = 6000 + 1500 = 7500

SI = ₹1,500; Total = ₹7,500
