Option 1: INR 8,000
Option 2: INR 5,000
Option 3: INR 6,000
Option 4: INR 4,000
Correct Answer: INR 4,000
Solution : Increase in simple interest for 3 years at a 5% higher rate = INR 600 Increase in simple interest for 1 year at a 5% higher rate = $\frac{600}{3}$ = INR 200 Let $P$ be the principal sum. $\frac{PnR}{100}$ = S.I. ⇒ $\frac{P×1×5}{100}$ =
Question : Directions: In this question, the statement is followed by two conclusions. Which of the two conclusion(s) is/are true? Statement: A = B ≥ C ≤ D > G < E < F Conclusions: I. B > F II. C < A

Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Option 4: Both conclusions I and II are true
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Solution : Given: Statement: A = B ≥ C ≤ D > G < E < F
Let's analyse the given conclusions – Conclusion (I): B > F→No relation can be established between B and F. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
