Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Solution :
Given,
A person borrows Rs. 20000 for 3 years at 6% per annum Simple Interest.
He immediately lends it to another person at 8.5% per annum for 3 years.
P = Rs. 20000 and time, $T$ = 1 year [As we need per year profit]
First rate, $R_2$ = 6% and Second rate, $R_1$ = 8.5%
We know,
Simple Interest $=\frac{\text{P}(\text{R}{_1}-\text{R}{_2})T}{100}=\frac{20000 × (8.5 - 6) × 1}{100}=\frac{20000 × 2.5 × 1}{100}=500$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 500.
