Correct Answer: Rs. 6000
Solution : Given: Time: 2 years Compound interest: Rs. 615 Simple interest on the same amount and period = Rs. 600 So, SI for the first year = $\frac{600}{2}$ = Rs. 300 SI for the second year = Rs. 300 CI for the first year = Rs. 300 CI for the second year = Rs. 315 Rs. 15 is the interest on Rs. 300 received as interest in the first year. So, the rate = $\frac{15}{300}$×100 = 5% According to the question, $\frac{P\times R \times T}{100}=600$ ⇒ $P \times \frac{5\times 2}{100}=600$ $\therefore P=600\times 10 = 6000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 6000.
