Correct Answer: INR 6,864
Solution : Simple interest = $\frac{(P \times T \times R)}{100}$ Here, $P$ = Principal $T$ = Time $R$ = Rate Interest after 2 years = $\frac{15600\times 10\times 2}{100} = 3120$ New principal after 2 years = 15600 + 3120 = INR 18,720 Now, the interest after next 2 years = $\frac{18720\times 10\times 2}{100} =3744$ So, the total interest after 4 years = 3120 + 3744 = INR 6,864 Hence, the correct answer is INR 6,864.
