Correct Answer: Rs. 1052


Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 800, Amount = Rs. 956, and Time = 3 years
Rate of interest, $R$ = 4% for extra interest
Use the formula below.
Extra Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principle×Rate×Time}}{100}$
= $\frac{800×3×4}{100}$
= Rs. 96
So, the total amount received = 956 + 96 = Rs. 1052
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1052.
