Question

Answer

Given:
Rate of interest for the first 3 years = 6% per annum
Rate of interest for the next 4 years = 7% per annum
Rate of interest for the period beyond 7 years = 7.5% per annum
Principal amount (P) = Rs. 1500
Time period (T) = 11 years

To find: Total interest earned by Mr. Rakesh.

Explanation:
To find the total interest earned by Mr. Rakesh, we need to calculate the interest for each period and then add them together.

1. Interest for the first 3 years:
Principal (P) = Rs. 1500
Rate of interest (R) = 6% per annum
Time period (T) = 3 years

Using the simple interest formula, the interest for the first 3 years can be calculated as:
Interest = (P * R * T) / 100
= (1500 * 6 * 3) / 100
= Rs. 270

2. Interest for the next 4 years:
Principal (P) = Rs. 1500
Rate of interest (R) = 7% per annum
Time period (T) = 4 years

Using the simple interest formula, the interest for the next 4 years can be calculated as:
Interest = (P * R * T) / 100
= (1500 * 7 * 4) / 100
= Rs. 420

3. Interest for the period beyond 7 years:
Principal (P) = Rs. 1500
Rate of interest (R) = 7.5% per annum
Time period (T) = 11 - (3 + 4) = 4 years (remaining time period after the first 7 years)

Using the simple interest formula, the interest for the period beyond 7 years can be calculated as:
Interest = (P * R * T) / 100
= (1500 * 7.5 * 4) / 100
= Rs. 450

4. Total interest earned by Mr. Rakesh:
Total interest = Interest for the first 3 years + Interest for the next 4 years + Interest for the period beyond 7 years
= Rs. 270 + Rs. 420 + Rs. 450
= Rs. 1140

Therefore, the total interest earned by Mr. Rakesh is Rs. 1140. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
