      B Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Effective rate of interest for CI = x + y + (xy/100) = 20 + 20 + (20 Γ— 20)/100 = 44% Effective rate of interest for SI = 3 Γ— 10 = 30% Difference in rates = 44 - 30 = 14% Let sum be S. Hence, 14% of S = 280 β‡’ Β S Γ— (14/100) = 280 β‡’ Β S = 2,000
