Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 27

Principal = 2000

Rate = 6.75% per annum

Time = 3 Feb to 17 Apr = 26 + 31 + 17 = 74 days

Time in years = 74 ÷ 365 = 0.2027

Simple Interest = P × R × T ÷ 100

SI = 2000 × 6.75 × 0.2027 ÷ 100

= 27.37
