The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the simple interest for 2 years based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that: - The amount after 4 years is Rs. 4800. - The amount after 5 years is Rs. 5250. ### Step 2: Calculate the interest for 1 year To find the interest for 1 year, we can subtract the amount after 4 years from the amount after 5 years: \[ \text{Interest for 1 year} = \text{Amount after 5 years} - \text{Amount after 4 years} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Interest for 1 year} = 5250 - 4800 = 450 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the interest for 2 years Now that we have the interest for 1 year, we can calculate the interest for 2 years by multiplying the interest for 1 year by 2: \[ \text{Interest for 2 years} = \text{Interest for 1 year} \times 2 \] Substituting the value we found: \[ \text{Interest for 2 years} = 450 \times 2 = 900 \text{ Rs.} \] ### Final Answer The interest for 2 years is Rs. 900. ---
