SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q74

If the simple interest on a certain sum of money for 4 years at 5% per annum is ₹500, what would be the simple interest on the same sum for 6 years at 7% per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹1,050.

SI = (P × R × T)/100

⇒ 500 = (P × 5 × 4)/100

⇒ 500 = 20P/100

⇒ P = 2500

New SI = (2500 × 7 × 6)/100 = 1050
