    Solution

    Interest returned on investing Rs. 28000 = 28000(1 + 15/100)2 – 28000 = 28000(115/100)2 – 28000 = 28000(23/20)2 – 28000 = 28000{232/202)- 1} = 28000{529/400)- 1} = 28000(529 - 400)/400 = Rs. 9030 So, interest returned on investing Rs. Y for 1 year at simple interest of 40% p.a. = 9030 + 40 = Rs. 9070 Or, Y × (40/100) = 9070 Or, Y = 9070 × (100/40) Or, Y = 22675
