SSC CPO - 9 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q149

Anita took a loan of ₹8,000 at a simple interest rate of 7% per annum for 3 years. What will be the simple interest and the total amount she has to repay after 3 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Principal = 8000, Rate = 7%, Time = 3 years

Simple Interest = (P × R × T) / 100

SI = (8000 × 7 × 3) / 100 = 1680

Total Amount = 8000 + 1680 = 9680

SI = ₹1,680; Total = ₹9,680
