Find the simple interest (in ₹) on ₹3500 as a sum borrowed at a 4% per year rate of interest for 3 years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 420.

Simple Interest = (P × R × T) / 100

P = 3500, R = 4%, T = 3 years

SI = (3500 × 4 × 3) ÷ 100

= 42000 ÷ 100 = 420
