Solution : Given: A = Rs 6,000 is invested at simple interest for 5 years and the annual rate of interest is 15 percent. B = Rs. 5,000 is invested at simple interest for 2 years and the annual rate of interest is 20 percent. We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ The simple interest earned in A, Simple interest $=\frac{6000\times 15\times 5}{100}=$ Rs. 4,500 The simple interest earned in B, Simple interest $=\frac{5000\times 20\times 2}{100}=$ Rs. 2,000 The ratio of interests earned in A and B = 4500 : 2000 = 9: 4. Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 4.
