Correct Answer: INR 9,095
Solution : We know, $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ Total amount $= 20000 × (1+ \frac{15}{100})^{2} (1 + \frac{\frac{2}{3}×15}{100})$ $= 20000 × (\frac{23}{20})^{2}× \frac{11}{10}$ $= 5 × 23 × 23 × 11$ $= 29095$ $\therefore$ Interest = Amount – Principal = INR (29095 – 20000) = INR 9095 Hence, the correct answer is INR 9,095.
