Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 840

Given:

Difference in simple interest of 4 years and 3 years = Rs. 42

Rate of interest = 5%

Formula used:

SI = (P × R × T)/100

Calculation:

Simple interest for 1 year = Difference in simple interest of 4 years and 3 years

⇒ Simple interest for 1 year = Rs, 42

⇒ (P × R × T)/100 = 42

⇒ (P × 5 × 1)/100 = 42

⇒ P = 42 × 100/5 = 42 × 20 = 840

∴ The sum is Rs. 840
