          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: D) Rs. 112.5         
         
Explanation: 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
=  = Rs. 112.5/ year.
