    D 1350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Simple interest received by Meera = (c × 14 × 6)/100 = Rs. 0.84c Compound interest received by Meera = (3500 – c)(1 + 20/100)² – (3500 – c) = Rs. 1.44(3500 – c) - (3500 - c) = Rs. 0.44(3500 - c) According to the question, 0.84c + 0.44(3500 – c) = 2300 Or, 0.84c + 1540 - 0.44c = 2300 Or, 0.4c = 2300 - 1540 Or, 0.4c = 760 Or, c = 760 / 0.4 = 1900
