Correct Answer: INR 10,800


Solution : At simple interest, a sum of INR 6,400 becomes INR 8,320 in 3 years.
Simple interest = INR 8320 – INR 6,400 = INR 1,920
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ Rate $ = \frac{1920 \times 100}{6400 \times 3} = 10\%$
Simple Interest on INR 7,200 = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}=\frac{7200×10×5}{100}$ = INR 3,600
$\therefore$ Amount = INR 7200 + INR 3600 = INR 10,800
Hence, the correct answer is INR 10,800.
