  1. A man buys a TV priced at Rs. 16000. He pays Rs. 4000 at once and the rest after 15 months on which he is charged a simple interest at the rate of 12% per year. The total amount he pays for the TV is
    1. Rs. 18,200
    2. Rs. 17,800
    3. Rs. 16,800
    4. Rs. 17,200
Correct Option: B

According to question , we have
Remaining amount = Rs. (16000 – 4000) = Rs. 12000

S.I =
Principal × Time × Rate
100

SI =
12000 × 15 × 12
= Rs. 1800
12 × 100

∴ Total amount paid = Rs. (16000 + 1800) = Rs. 17800
