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.
⇒ $\frac{P×1×5}{100}$ = INR 200
⇒ $P$ = $\frac{20000}{5}$ = 4000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4000.
