A certain amount earns simple interest of Rs. 1750 after 7 years. Had the interest been 2% more, how much more interest would it have earned?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
We need to know the S.I., principal and time to find the rate.
Since the principal is not given, so data is inadequate.

S.I. for 1 year = 1750/7=250.
increase by 2% = 250*2/100=255.
Every yr he would get extra 5 rs.
So, for 7 yrs = 5 * 7= 35
increase by 2% = 250*2/100=255.
Every yr he would get extra 5 rs.
So, for 7 yrs = 5 * 7= 35

According to me;
Interest for 7 yr is 1750 means
For 1 yr interest is 250.
So assume the interest is 10% this way principle amount becomes 2500.
And now 8% interest for 7 yr of 2500 = 1400.
So the more interest earned = (1750-1400) = 350 ans.

Let Principal=100 so,
1st interest = prt/100,
=> 1750= (100 * r * 7)/100,
=> r = 250,
Then if r increases by 2%,
then r =250*102/100 = 255,
so 2nd interest = (100 * 255 * 7)/100 = 1785,
Difference = 1785 - 1750 = 35. (ans).
