    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Simple interest earned in 3 years = 22080 – 17760 = Rs. 4320 Simple interest for 1 year = 4320/3 = Rs. 1440 Initial sum of money = 17760 – 1440 × 4 = Rs. 12000 So, R = 1440/12000 × 100 = 15% So, R + 3=> 15 Desired interest = [(1.15)2 – 1] × 12000 = Rs. 3870
