Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Principal amount (P)= $2500

Rate of simple annual interest (R) = 8.5%

Number of years (T)= 10

As we know the formula for "Simple Interest ":


Interest=(P* R* T)/(100)\\\\Interest=(2500* 8.5* 10)/(100)\\\\Interest=\$2125.00

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
