Given:

Principal = Rs. 7500

Rate = 7%

Time = 2 years

Concept Used:

Simple Interest = PRT/100

Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

Calculation:

Simple Interest = PRT/100

Simple Interest = (7500 × 7 × 2)/100

Simple Interest = Rs. 1050

Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

Amount = 7500 + 1050

Amount = Rs. 8550

Option 2 is the correct answer.
