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.
