    C Rs.1,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, 1935 = 6000 × {(1.15)a  – 1} Or, {(1.15)a – 1} = 0.3225 Or, (1.15)a = 1.3225 = (1.15)2 Or, a = 2 Required simple interest = {(6000 × 15 × 2)/100} = Rs.1,800
