Correct Answer: Rs. 4000
Solution : Given, Rate = 7% and Time = 11 years Let the amount lent be $P$. Interest earned = $P - 920$ We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $P - 920 = \frac{P×7×11}{100}$ ⇒ $100P - 92000 = 77P$ ⇒ $100P - 77P = 92000$ ⇒ $23P = 92000$ $\therefore P = 4000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 4000.
