The simple interest on a sum of money will be Rs. 600 after 10 years . If the principal is trebled after 5 years. what will  be the total  interest at the end of he tenth year ?


Options:
A .  Rs. 600
B .  Rs. 900
C .  Rs. 1200
D .  Rs. 1500
E .  Data inadequate
Answer: Option C

Let the sum be Rs. `x` Now , S.I. = Rs. 600,  T = 10 years.

Rate = `((100 xx 600)/(x xx 10))% =  (6000/x)`%

S.I. for first 5 years = Rs  `((x xx 5 xx 6000)/(x xx 100))`  = Rs. 300

S.I. for last 5 years = Rs. `(3x xx 5 xx (6000)/(x xx 100))` = Rs. 900

`:.`      Total interest = Rs.  (900 + 300) = Rs. 1200
