A man takes a Rs. 8000 loan from the bank with a certain rule. The bank rate for the first 5 years is 6%, for the next 3 years is 8%, and for the next 8 years is 10%. Find how much interest will the man return in 12 years with simple interest:
Explanation
The formula for Simple Interest (SI) is:
SI=100P×R×T
Given the principal amount P=Rs.8000. Since the interest rate is variable, we calculate the interest for each period separately within the 12-year timeframe.
1. Interest for the first 5 years:
2. Interest for the next 3 years:
3. Interest for the remaining years:
The total duration is 12 years. We have accounted for 5+3=8 years. The remaining time is 12−8=4 years.
4. Total Interest:
Total SI=SI1+SI2+SI3
Total SI=2400+1920+3200=Rs.7520
Conclusion:
The total interest the man will return in 12 years is Rs. 7520. The correct option is (c).
