Correct Answer: 7,200


Solution : Let the Principal for A be INR $x$.
Then principal for B = $36000 - x$
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question
$\frac{15×x×2}{100} = \frac{[(36000 – x) × 15 × 4]}{100}$
⇒ $x = 2(36000-x)$
⇒ $x = 24000$
Then simple interest of A in two years = $\frac{15×x×2}{100}=\frac{15×24000×2}{100}
= 7200$
Hence, the correct answer is 7,200.
