  1. The amount 2,100 became ₹2,352 in 2 years at simple interest. If the interest rate is decreased by 1%, what is the new interest ?
    1. ₹210
    2. ₹220
    3. ₹242
    4. ₹252
Correct Option: A

As per the given in question ,
S.I. = Amount - Principal = 2352 – 2100 = ₹ 252

Rate =
Interest × 100
Principal × Time

Rate =
252 × 100
= 6% per annum
2100 × 2

New rate = 5%
∴ S.I. =
252 × 5
= ₹ 210
