Option 2 : Rs. 330 

Given 

Principal = Rs. 4000 

Time = 2 years  

Formula Used

Simple Interest = (principal × rate × interest)/100

Amount = Principal(1 + R/100)t

Amount = Principal + interest 

Calculation

From 1st condition,

Simple Interest = (Principal × rate × interest)/100

⇒ Simple interest = (4000 × 12 × 2)/100

⇒ Simple Interest = 40 × 24 = Rs. 960

from 2nd condition 

⇒ Amount = 4000(1 + 15/100)2

⇒ Amount = 4000 × (23/20) × (23/20) 

⇒ Amount = Rs. 5290 

Interest from 2nd condition = 5290 – 4000 = Rs. 1290 

Himanshu gained = Rs. 1290 – Rs. 960 = Rs. 330 

∴ Himanshu's gain in whole transaction is Rs. 330
