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.
