Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- ₹7,250.

Opening capital = 70,000
Rate of interest = 10%
Interest = 70,000 x 10/100
             = 7,000

Additional capital = 10,000
Interest will be calculated for 3 months as financial year is upto 31st March.
Interest = 10,000 x 10/100 x 3/12
              = 250

Total interest = 7,000 + 250
                      = 7,250
