    Question

    The simple interest on an amount for 6 years at 4% p.a. is ₹ 7,500 less than the simple interest on the same amount for 11 years. Find the amount.

    A.

    Rs. 38000

    B.

    Rs .36000

    C.

    Rs. 37500

    D.

    Rs. 38500

    Correct option is C

    Given
    Difference in SI = ₹ 7500
    Rate = 4% p.a.
    Time 1 = 6 years, Time 2 = 11 years

    Formula Used
    SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​

    Solution
    Difference in Time = 11 - 6 = 5 years
    SI for 5 years = P×4×5100=7500\frac{P \times 4 \times 5}{100} = 7500​​
    20P100=7500 P5=7500 P=37500\frac{20P}{100} = 7500\\\ \\\frac{P}{5} = 7500\\\ \\P = 37500​​
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
