Question

Two banks, A and B, offered loans at 3.5% and 6% per annum, respectively. Ajay borrowed an amount of ₹340000 from each bank. Find the positive difference between the amounts of simple interest paid to the two banks by Ajay after 3 years.

The correct answer is

25500

For Bank A, the simple interest is:
SI = P × R × T / 100 = 340000 × 3.5 × 3 / 100 = 35700.
For Bank B, the simple interest is:
SI = 340000 × 6 × 3 / 100 = 61200.
The positive difference between the two interests is 61200 - 35700 = 25500.
