      A Rs. 10500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 11000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 11550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 11500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      SI = (X + 500) × 50/100 =  (X + 500)/2 Amount = (x + 500) + {(X + 500)/2} = 3/2 × (X + 500) CI = 3780 So, 3/2 × (X + 500) × 21/100 = 3780 X + 500 = (3780 × 100 × 2)/(21 × 3) = 12000 X = 12000 – 500 = Rs. 11500
