Explanation

SI for 12 years = Rs 3756, so SI per year = Rs 313.50. Principal becomes 4 times in next 6 years means interest for 6 years = 3P (from P to 4P). So 3P = 6 × 313.50 = 1881, giving P = 627. Total interest for 24 years = 2 × 3756 + 1881 = 9393. However, solving directly: SI for 12 years = 3756, SI for 24 years = 7512 (double). The 'principal becomes 4 times' information is used to find the rate.
