Correct Answer: Rs. 992


Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 800
Simple Interest = Rs. 120
Time period = 3 years
Rate of interest be $R$ = 3% for extra interest
Use the formula below.
Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principle×Rate×Time}}{100}$
= $\frac{800×3×3}{100}$
= Rs. 72
So, the total amount received = 720 + 72 = Rs. 992
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 992.
