Correct Answer: Rs. 750
Solution : Given: A certain sum becomes Rs. 1,050 in 5 years and Rs. 1,230 in 8 years at simple interest. So, simple interest for 3 years = 1230 – 1050 = 180 $\therefore$ simple interest for 5 years = $\frac{180}{3}$ × 5 = 300 So, sum = 1050 – 300 = 750 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 750.
