Correct Answer: Rs. 1000


Solution : Given: Rate = 6%
Time = 13 years
Let the principal be $P$.
So, simple interest = $P-220$
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
$⇒P - 220 = \frac{P × 6 × 13}{100}$
$⇒100P - 22000 = 78P$
$⇒22P = 22000$
$\therefore P = 1000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1000.
