    Question

    Two banks, A and B, offered loans at 3.5% and 7.5% per annum, respectively. Mukund borrowed an amount of ₹2,00,000 from each bank. Find the positive difference (in ₹) between the amounts of simple interest paid to the two banks by Mukund after 2 years.

    A.

    16,000

    B.

    17,500

    C.

    15,500

    D.

    17,000

    Correct option is A

    Given
    Principal Amount (P) = ₹2,00,000
    Rate of Bank A (R1) = 3.5% per annum
    Rate of Bank B (R2) = 7.5% per annum
    Time (T) = 2 years
    Formula Used
    Simple Interest (SI) = P×R×T100 \frac{P × R × T}{100}

    Difference in SI = P×(R2R1)×T100\frac{P × (R_2 - R_1) × T}{100}​​
    Solution
    Difference in rate = 7.5% - 3.5% = 4%
    Difference in SI = 200000×4×2100\frac{200000 × 4 × 2}{100}​​
    Difference in SI = 2000 × 4 × 2
    Difference in SI = 16000
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (a)
