Solution

Amount under simple interest = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100} + P$

Given : $\frac{P \times 10 \times 4}{100} + P = 22,960$

=> $\frac{2P}{5} + P = 22,960$

=> $\frac{7P}{5} = 22,960$

=> $P = \frac{22,960 \times 5}{7} = 16,400$

Now, new amount invested = $16,400 + 600 = 17,000$

$\therefore$ S.I. = $\frac{17,000 \times 10 \times 4}{100}$

= $170 \times 40$ = Rs. $6,800$
