Calculate Simple Interest Yield

This problem involves calculating the simple interest (SI) earned on an investment.

Simple Interest Formula

The formula for simple interest is:

$ $ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} $ $

Where:

  • $P$ is the Principal amount (the initial sum of money)
  • $R$ is the Rate of interest per annum
  • $T$ is the Time period in years

Applying the Formula

Given values:

  • Principal ($P$) = ₹ 2,000
  • Rate ($R$) = 8.5% per annum
  • Time ($T$) = 6 years

Substitute these values into the formula:

$ $ SI = \frac{2000 \times 8.5 \times 6}{100} $ $

Interest Calculation Steps

  1. Simplify the fraction: $ $ SI = 20 \times 8.5 \times 6 $ $
  2. Calculate the product: $ $ SI = 20 \times 51 $ $
  3. Final result: $ $ SI = 1020 $ $

The simple interest yielded is ₹ 1,020.

Identify Correct Option

The calculated interest of ₹ 1,020 matches Option B.
