Correct Answer: INR 8,000
Solution : Let the money lent be INR $P$. Rate of interest, $R$ = 10% per annum Time, $t$ = 1 year 9 months Compound interest = INR 1,460 $10\% \; \text {of} \;P + \frac{P\times 10\times 9}{100\times 12} + 10\% \; \text {of} \frac{ \;P\times 10\times 9}{100\times 12}=1460$ ⇒ $0.1P + 0.075P+0.0075P=1460$ ⇒ $0.1825P = 1460$ ⇒ $P =\frac{1460}{0.1825}=8000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 8000.
