Correct Answer :

Option C

₹45

Solution :

The correct option is ₹45.


Step 1: Identify the given parameters
Principal (P) = ₹4,000
Rate of interest (R) = 6.75% per annum


Step 2: Calculate the total time duration in days
Note that 2024 is a leap year, so February 2024 has 29 days.
When calculating interest between two dates, one of the boundary days (either the day of deposit or the day of withdrawal) is excluded.
• Days remaining in February = 29 - 25 = 4 days
• Days in March = 31 days
• Days in April = 26 days


Total time in days (d):

d=4+31+26=61 days


Since 2024 has 366 days, the time period in years (T) is:

T=61366 years=16 years


Step 3: Calculate the Simple Interest (SI)
The formula for Simple Interest is:

SI=P×R×T100


Substitute the known values into the formula:

SI=4000×6.75×61100×366

SI=40×6.756

SI=2706=45


Thus, the simple interest earned is ₹45.
