    A 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, For 2 years: CI − SI = [P × (r²/100²)] ⇒ 72 = P × (10² / 10000) = P × (100 / 10000) = P/100 So P = 72 × 100 = 7,200 SI for 3 years = [(P × r × t)/100] = [(7200 × 10 × 3)/100] = 2,160.
