Option 1: Rs. 13800

Option 2: Rs. 16560

Option 3: Rs. 11040

Option 4: Rs. 8280

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 13800


Solution : Given:
Total simple interest = Rs. 7728
Rate = 7% per annum
Time: 8 years.
Simple interest (SI) = $\frac{(\text{Principal × Rate × Time})}{100}$
Let the principal amount be P.
So, 7728 = $\frac{P × 7 × 8}{100}$
⇒ P = $\frac{772800}{7 × 8}$

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 7

Option 3: 9

Option 4: 6

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024
