SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

Rs. 1500 is lent out at 6 % per annum simple interest for 3 years. Find the amount after 3 years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹1500

Interest rate (R) = 6% per annum

Time (T) = 3 years

Formula:

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

SI = (1500 × 6 × 3) / 100 = ₹270

Amount (A) = P + SI

A = 1500 + 270 = ₹1770

Amount after 3 years = ₹1770
