      D 2,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Simple interest = Principal X time period in years X rate ÷ 100 = 2N X 2 X 25 ÷ 100 = Rs. 'N' CI = Sum x (1 + Rate/100)t - Sum Or, CI = 3N X (1.2)2 - 3N Or, CI = 3N X (1.44) - 3N Or, CI = 4.32N - 3N So, CI = 1.32N ATQ: 1.32N - N = 480 Or, 0.32N = 480 So, 'N' = 1,500
