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)
