    Two banks, A and B, offered loans at 3.5% and 7% per annum, respectively. Akshay borrowed an amount of ₹4,60,000 from each bank. Find the positive difference (in ₹) between the amounts of simple interest paid to the two banks by Akshay after 4 years.

    A.

    64,400

    B.

    65,900

    C.

    63,900

    D.

    65,400

    Correct option is A

    Given
    Principal amount (P) = ₹4,60,000
    Rate of Bank A (R1) = 3.5%
    Rate of Bank B (R2) = 7%
    Time period (T) = 4 years
    Formula Used
    Simple Interest (SI) =P×R×T100 \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​

    Difference = P×(R2R1)×T100 \frac{P \times (R2 - R1) \times T}{100}​​
    Solution
    Rate Difference = 7%3.5%=3.5%7\% - 3.5\% = 3.5\%​​
    Difference in SI = 460000×3.5×4100\frac{460000 \times 3.5 \times 4}{100}​​
    Difference in SI = 4600×3.5×44600 \times 3.5 \times 4​​
    Difference in SI =  4600×144600 \times 14​​
    Difference in SI = 64400
    The difference between the amounts of simple interest paid is ₹64,400.
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (a)
