Correct Answer: Rs. 3,360
Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 2400 and amount = Rs. 3264 We know, Rate of interest = $\frac{\text{Simple interest}\times 100}{\text{Principal} \times \text{Time}}$ Simple Interest, SI = Rs. 3264 – Rs. 2400 = Rs. 864 So, the rate = $\frac{\text{SI}\times 100}{\text{Principal} \times \text{Time}}$ ⇒ Rate = $\frac{\text{864}\times 100}{\text{2400} \times \text{4}} = 9$% per annum New Rate = 9% + 1% = 10% per annum So, SI = $\frac{2400 \times 10\times 4}{100} = $ Rs. $960$ Amount = Rs. 2400 + Rs. 960 = Rs. 3,360 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3,360.
