Correct Answer: Rs. 11,100


Solution : The difference in the amounts after 3 years and 4 years gives the simple interest for 1 year = Rs. 15,500 – Rs. 14,400 = Rs. 1100
Now, the interest for 3 years = (1100 × 3) = Rs. 3300
So, the sum = 14,400 – 3300 = Rs. 11,100
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 11,100.
