SSC GD Constable (English) - 18th November 2021 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

The interest on a certain deposit at 3.5% per annum will be ₹ 210 in one year. How much will the additional interest in one year be on the same deposit at 4% per annum

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹ 30

SI = PRT/100

210 = (P × 3.5 × 1)/100

P = 6000

For R = 4%

SI = (6000 × 4 × 1)100 = 240

Difference in interest = 240 - 210 = Rs 30
