    A Rs. 4625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1344 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 3375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the certain sum of money be Rs. P
    So, P × 0.18 × 6 = 2700
    So, P = Rs. 2500
    Desired interest = [(1.20)2 – 1] × 2500 = Rs. 1100
