    B 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let desired time be ‘t’ years So, 5000(1 + 10/100)t = 6655 Or, (11/10)t = 6655 / 5000 = 1331/1000 = (11/10)3 Or, t = 3 Desired simple interest = 5000 × 0.10 × 3 = Rs. 1500
