Question

The difference between simple interest on a certain sum at the annual rate of 12 percent for (3/2) years and (7/2) years is Rs. 1920. What is the sum?

A.

Rs. 6000

B.

Rs. 14000

C.

Rs. 8000

D.

Rs. 12000

Correct option is C

Given:
Annual rate of interest (R) = 12%
Difference in time periods = 72\frac{7}{2}​​ years and 32\frac{3}{2}​ years
Difference in simple interest over these periods = Rs. 1920
Formula Used:
Difference in SI=P×R×(T2T1)100\text{Difference in SI} = \frac{P \times R \times (T_2 - T_1)}{100}​​
Solution:
Substituting the values:
1920=P×12×(7232)100 1920=P×12×2100 1920=24P100 1920×100=24P 192000=24P P=19200024=80001920 = \frac{P \times 12 \times \left(\frac{7}{2} - \frac{3}{2}\right)}{100}\\ \ \\1920 = \frac{P \times 12 \times 2}{100}\\ \ \\1920 = \frac{24P}{100}\\ \ \\1920 \times 100 = 24P \\ \ \\192000 = 24P \\ \ \\ P = \frac{192000}{24} = 8000​​
Thus, The sum is Rs. 8000.
