Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 8000 GIVEN: For the first 2 years, r = 4% per annum, t = 2 years next 4 years, r = 6% per annum, t = 4 years next 3 years, r = 8% per annum, t = 3 years FORMULAE USED: SI = (p × r × t)/100 CALCULATION: the simple interest for the first 2 years = (p × 4 × 2)/100 = 2p/25 the simple interest for the next 4 years = (p × 6 × 4)/100 = 6p/25 And then, for the the simple interest for the next 3 years = (p × 8 × 3)/100 = 6p/25 ⇒ Total interest = (2p/25) + (6p/25) + (6p/25) = 14p/25 So, 14p/25 = 4480 ⇒ p = Rs. 8000 Hence, the principal amount is Rs. 8000 |
