Ravi borrowed Rs 15,000 at the rate of `15%` per annum for 2 years under simple interest. As he could not repay the loan after two years, the moneylander lender increased the rate of interest to `20%` per annum for the further period. If Ravi wants to repaythe entire amount at the end of a total period of 3 years and 4 months, then how muchhe has to pay. (in Rs.)A. 24500B. 24000C. 23.5D. 23000

Answer» Case 1: For the first two years
`P=15,000, R=15%, T=2`
`I = (15,000 xx 15 xx 2)/(100) = Rs 4500`
Case 2: For the remaining time period
`P=15,000, R=20%, T=16` months
`I = (15,000 xx 20 xx 16/12)/(100)`
`rArr I=(15,000 xx 20 xx 16)/(1200) = Rs 4000`.
`therefore` Total amount that Ravi has to pay =15,000 + 4500 + 400 = Rs 23,500
