The difference between the simple interest obtained by investing Rs. 'X' with 8% per annum for an year and by investing Rs. 'X+1400' with 8% per annum for two years is 240 Rs. Find the value of X.

200
100
400
300

Correct Answer: 200

Explanation:

[(X+1400)*8*2/100] - [(X*8*1)/100]= 240
0.16X + 14*16 - 0.08X = 240
0.08X = 240 - 224
0.08X = 16
X = Rs. 200
