Correct Answer: Rs. 5000
Solution :
Given:
Amount = Rs. 6655
Rate of Interest = 10%
Time = 3 years
Formula used:
Amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$ where n is the number of years.
Calculation:
$6655= P(1+\frac{10}{100})^{3}$
⇒ $6655= P(1.1)^{3}$
⇒ $6655=P\times 1.331$
⇒ $P= 5000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 5000.
