Question Detail
If A lends Rs. 3500 to B at 10% p.a. and B lends the same sum to C at 11.5% p.a., then the gain of B (in Rs.) in a period of 3 years is
- Rs. 154.50
- Rs. 155.50
- Rs. 156.50
- Rs. 157.50
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
We need to calculate the profit of B.
It will be,
SI on the rate B lends - SI on the rate B gets
\begin{aligned}
\text{Gain of B}\\ &= \frac{3500\times11.5\times3}{100} - \frac{3500\times10\times3}{100}\\
= 157.50
\end{aligned}
