Question : A person lent a certain sum of money at the annual rate of 7% on simple interest and the interest received in 11 years is Rs. 920 less than the sum lent. What is the sum lent?

Option 1: Rs. 41200

Let the amount lent be $P$.
Interest earned = $P - 920$
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $P - 920 = \frac{P×7×11}{100}$
⇒ $100P - 92000 = 77P$
