Correct Answer: Rs. 2,100


Solution : Let the principal be Rs. $x$.
Time = 3 years
Rate = 8% per annum
Simple interest after T years = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
$⇒1200 = \frac{x \times 8 \times 3}{100}$
$\therefore x = 5000$
Now Principal, $P$ = Rs. 5000 × 2 = Rs. 10,000
Rate, $R$ = 10%
Time, $n$ = 2 years
$\therefore$ Compound Interest = $P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}-1]$ = $[10000(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}-1]$ = Rs. 2,100
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,100.
