UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

₹ 2,225.6

Simple interest is calculated using the formula \(SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\), where P is the principal, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time in years.

Substituting P = 8,560, R = 6.5, and T = 4:

\(SI = \frac{8560 \times 6.5 \times 4}{100} = 2225.6\)

Hence, the simple interest earned is ₹ 2,225.6.
