A) Rs. 101 B) Rs. 98.5
C) Rs. 124.3 D) Rs. 112.5

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.

A) 6 yrs B) 4 yrs
C) 8 yrs D) 2 yrs
