Study the graph and answer the question.
Annual percentage rate of interest offered by two finance companies P and Q over the years.

An investor invested a sum of ₹4 lakhs in company in the year 2000. After one year, the entire amount was transferred to company P in 2001 as an investment for one year. What amount will the investor receive from company P?

Solution

Given that principle amount = 400000

in the year 2000 Rate of interest = 9% 

we know that Simple interest (SI) = $$\dfrac{PRT}{100} = \dfrac { 400000 \times 9 \times 1} {100}$$

$$\Rightarrow 36000 $$ 

total amount 400000 + 36000 = 436000

According to question principle amount for 2001 in company P 

Simple intrest = $$\dfrac{436000 \times 1 \times 6.5} {100}  $$ 

$$\Rightarrow 436 \times 65 $$

$$\Rightarrow 28340 $$

Total amount = 436000 + 28340  = 464340 Ans
