    Question

    Two banks, A and B, offered loans at 3.5% and 7.5% per annum, respectively. Atul borrowed an amount of ₹2,20,000 from each bank. Find the positive difference (in ₹) between the amounts of simple interest paid to the two banks by Atul after 3 years.

    A.

    26,400

    B.

    25,900

    C.

    27,400

    D.

    27,900

    Correct option is A

    Given
    Principal (P) = ₹2,20,000
    Rate of Bank A  (R1)(R_1) ​= 3.5%
    Rate of Bank B (R2)(R_2)​ = 7.5%
    Time (T) = 3 years
    Formula Used
    Difference in Simple Interest = P×(R2R1)×T100\frac{P × (R_2 - R_1) × T}{100}​​
    Solution
    Difference in Rate = 7.5 - 3.5 = 4%
    Difference in SI=220000×4×3100 Difference in SI=2200×12=26400\text{Difference in SI} = \frac{220000 × 4 × 3}{100} \\\ \\\text{Difference in SI} = 2200 × 12 = 26400​​
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (a)
