Correct Answer: Rs. 112.5

Explanation:

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 


She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 


=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%


So her gain in the transaction for 1 year


= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum


P T R 100 = 5000 × 9 4 × 1 100  = Rs. 112.5/ year.
