Question:

A borrows a sum of ₹90,000 for 4 years at 5% simple interest. He lends it to B at 7% for 4 years at simple interest. What is his gain (in ₹) ?

Options:

7,200

9,000

8,000

7,500

Correct Answer:

7,200

Explanation:

A borrows at 5% for 4 years

⇒ Total int. = 5 × 4 = 20%

A lends to B at 7% for 4 years

⇒ Total int. = 7 × 4 = 28%

A's Profit = 28% - 20% = 8%

A's total profit = 90000 × 8% = Rs 7200
