      A Rs.5405 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.3274 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.2644 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2630 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs.2522 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let P = Rs. 100. Then, SI = Rs. 40 and T = 8 years. => R = (100 × 40)/(100 × 8) = 5% Now, P = Rs. 16000,T = 3 years and R = 5% p.a. CI = Rs. [16000 × {(1 + 5/100)3 – 1}] CI = [16000 × {105/100)3 – 1}] CI = [16000 × 1261/8000] CI = Rs.2522
