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
