Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Step-by-Step Solution
To find the interest Suresh has to pay, we use the simple interest formula: S.I. = (P × R × T) / 100.
Identify the given values:
Principal (P) = Rs. 36000
Rate (R) = 6% p.a.
Time (T) = 6 years
Apply the simple interest formula:
Interest = (36000 × 6 × 6) / 100
Interest = 360 × 36
Calculate the final amount:
Interest = Rs. 12960
