Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d] Given, P = Rs. 200000, Rate (r) = 12% per annum, t = 1 yr $ SI=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}=\frac{200000\times 12\times 1}{100}=Rs.,24000 $ Total amount $ =200000+24000=Rs.,224000 $ When Rs. 500 added then total amount $ =224000+500=Rs.224500 $ Now, P = Rs. 224500, r = 13%, t = 1 yr $ SI=\frac{224500\times 13\times 1}{100}=Rs.,29185 $
