Solution
Donation amount = ₹ 500000
Rate of interest for each year = 12% per annum
Time period = 1 yr
Interest received after 1 yr = `(500000 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
= 5000 × 12
= ₹ 60000
Scholarship amount for second position = ₹ 20000
Scholarship amount for third position = ₹ 15000
∴ Remaining amount for first position student
= 60000 – (20000 + 15000)
= 60000 – 35000
= ₹ 25000
