Correct Answer: 37,500


Solution : Given: Rate = 4% for both cases
Time = 6 years for 1st case and 11 years for the second case.
Let the amount be P.
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question,
⇒ $\frac{\text{P × 4 × 11}}{100}–\frac{\text{P × 4 × 6}}{100} = 7500$
⇒ $\frac{\text{44P}}{100}–\frac{\text{24P}}{100} = 7500$
⇒ $\frac{\text{20P}}{100} = 7500$
⇒ P = Rs. 37,500
Hence, the correct answer is 37,500.
