Correct Answer: INR 4,000
Solution : Increase in simple interest for 3 years at a 5% higher rate = INR 600 Increase in simple interest for 1 year at a 5% higher rate = $\frac{600}{3}$ = INR 200 Let $P$ be the principal sum. $\frac{PnR}{100}$ = S.I. ⇒ $\frac{P×1×5}{100}$ = INR 200 ⇒ $P$ = $\frac{20000}{5}$ = 4000 Hence, the correct answer is INR 4000.
