Correct Answer: 4000


Solution : Sum = Rs. 7,900
Term, n = 1 year
Let $x$ be the amount invested at 3%, $y$ be the amount invested at 5%, and $z$ be the amount invested at 8%.
$\frac{x×1×3}{100}$ = $\frac{y×1×5}{100}$ = $\frac{z×1×8}{100}$
$⇒3x$ = $5y$ = $8z$
So, $x:y:z=40:24:15$
Divide Rs. 7900 in this ratio. therefore, we get,
$x=\frac{7900}{79}×40$
$\therefore x=4000$
Hence, the correct answer is 4000.
