Option 1: 30 months

Option 2: 36 months

Option 3: 40 months

Option 4: 48 months

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48 months

Rate, $R$ = 10%
Simple interest, SI = Rs. 1200
Let $T$ be the term (in years)
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $1200$ = $\frac{3000 × T × 10}{100}$
