      Question

      A certain sum when invested for 3 years in a scheme

      offering simple interest of 15% p.a. gives an interest of Rs. 693. What is 125% of the sum invested?
      A Rs. 1825 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1725 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1925 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 1325 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the sum invested = Rs. 100Y Then interest earned = 100Y × (0.15 × 3) = Rs. 45Y Or, 45Y = 693 Or, Y = (693/45) = 15.4 So, sum invested = Rs. 1540 125% of sum invested = 1540 × 1.25 = Rs. 1925
