• A. ₹240
• B. ₹254
• C. ₹250
• D. ₹264

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹254

Given:
David has invested = $₹200$
He gets an annual interest rate of $9\%$ from the bank.
The time taken is 3 years.

You know,
Simple interest $(S.I)=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$
where,
$P$ = Prinicpal amount inested
$R$ = Annual rate percentage
$T$ = Time Taken

So, by putting the values, you get,
$S.I.=\frac{200\times 9\times 3}{100}$
$\Rightarrow S.I.=\frac{5400}{100}$
$\Rightarrow S.I.=₹54$

∴ Total amount David received from bank $=₹54+₹200=₹254$
