Question

Two banks, A and B, offered loans at 3.5% and 7.5% per annum, respectively. Ajay borrowed an amount of ₹2,40,000 from each bank. Find the positive difference (in ₹) between the amounts of simple interest paid to the two banks by Ajay after 4 years.

A.

38,400

B.

37,900

C.

39,900

D.

39,400

Correct option is A

Given
Principal (P) = ₹2,40,000
Rate of Bank A = 3.5%
Rate of Bank B = 7.5%
Time (T) = 4 years
Formula Used
Difference in SI = P×(R2−R1)×T100 \frac{P × (R_2 - R_1) × T}{100}​​
Solution
Difference in interest rates = 7.5% - 3.5% = 4%
Difference in Simple Interest =  240000×4×4100\frac{240000 × 4 × 4}{100}​​
Difference = 2400 × 16
Difference = 38400
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
