How much simple interest will ₹5,000 earn in 14 months at a 12% interest rate per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹700.

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T)/100

= (5000 × 12 × 14/12)/100

= 70000/100

= 700

Therefore, ₹5,000 will earn ₹700 in simple interest in 14 months at a 12% interest rate per annum.
