Find the amount after 3 years if the rate of interest is 15% per annum and principal is Rs. 24,000.
ARs. 30,900
BRs. 32,700
CRs. 36,500
DRs. 34,800

correct answer is: Rs. 34,800
Explanation: To find the amount after 3 years with a principal of Rs. 24,000 and an annual interest rate of 15%, we can use the simple interest formula: A=P+PRT

Where:
- P=24,000 (principal amount)
- R=15%=0.15 (annual interest rate)
- T=3 years Plugging in the values: A=24,000+(24,000×0.15×3)
A=24,000+10,800
A=34,800
Thus, the amount after 3 years is Rs. 34,800.

  • OPTION a (Rs. 30,900): Too low; doesn't match the calculated amount.
  • OPTION b (Rs. 32,700): Still too low; doesn't match the calculated amount.
  • OPTION c (Rs. 36,500): Too high; likely assumes compound interest, which wasn't specified.
  • OPTION d (Rs. 34,800): Correct; matches the calculated amount using simple interest.
