Answer: Option A. electronics worth $1650.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to find out the total amount we get after two years.

So given figures are principal amount (P) = $1500

Rate of interest (R) = 5% annual

Time (T) = 2 years

Now we know the formula of Simple interest (I) = (P*T*R) / 100

⇒ I = (1500*2*5) / 100

⇒ I = 15*2*5

⇒ I = $150

Now total amount after two years will be = $1500 + $150

= $1650

So as per given option A i can purchase an electronics.
