    Case-I,
    Simple Interest = 8000 – 6000 = Rs. 2000

    Rate =
    Simple Interest × 100
    Principal × Time

    Rate =
    2000 × 100
    =
    25
    %
    6000 × 43

    ∴ Case-II,
    Time =
    Simple Interest × 100
    Principal × Rate

    Correct Option: C

    Let the amount in Post office be Rs. p.
    ∴ Amount in Bank = Rs. (320000 – p)
    We can find the SI with the help of given formula ,

    SI =
    Principal × Time × Rate
    100

    p × 9
    +
    (32000 - p) × 8
    = 27600
    100 100

    Correct Option: A

    100 100

    ⇒ 9p + 2560000 – 8p= 2760000
    ⇒ p = 2760000 – 2560000 = Rs. 200000
    ∴ Amount in bank = Rs. (320000 – 200000) = Rs. 120000

    p × 7 × 8
    -
    p × 5 × 5
    = 62000
