Correct Answer: 2,592
Solution : Let P be the principal sum. Simple Interest, SI = $\frac{1}{4}$×P Number of years = n Interest rate, R = 4n SI = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$ $\frac{P}{4}$ = $\frac{P×n×4n}{100}$ ⇒ $n^2 = \frac{100}{4×4}$ ⇒ $n = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5$ R = 4 × 2.5 = 10% Now, R + 2 = 12% P = INR 3600 n = 6 SI = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$ = $\frac{3600×12×6}{100}$ = 2592 Hence, the correct answer is 2592.
