Correct Answer: 3
Solution :
Total amount = Rs. 11,780
Principal sum = Rs. 9,500
Simple Interest = 11,780 – 9,500 = Rs. 2,280
Rate = 8%
Let $n$ be the time.
We know, Simple Interest =$\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
$⇒2280 = \frac{9500×8×n}{100}$
$\therefore n= 3$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
