    B 1890 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let desired time be ‘t’ years So, 9000(1 + 10/100)t = 10890 Or, (11/10)t = 10890 / 9000 = 121/100 = (11/10)2 Or, t = 2 Desired simple interest = 9000 × 0.10 × 2 = Rs. 1800
