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)
