  • Question
  • Rs. 4200 amounts to Rs. 5712 in 4 years. If rate of interest is increased by 3%. What will be the amount?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 6372
  • B. Rs. 4000
  • C. Rs. 6216
  • D. Rs. 3000

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 6216 

    Explanation

    S.I = Principal x Rate x Time / 100
    ? Amount - Principal = Principal x Rate x Time / 100
    ? 5712 - 4200 = (4200 x Rate x 4) /100
    ? 1512 = 42 x 4 x Rate
    Rate = 1512 / (42 x 4) = 9%
    On increasing 3%, new rate of interest = 9 + 3 = 12%

    Simple interest on new rate = (4200 x 12 x 4) / 100 =Rs. 2016
    Amount = Principal + Interest = 4200 + 2016 = Rs. 6216
