Correct Answer: Rs. 1,576.25


Solution : Given:
There is a 40% increase in the amount in 8 years at simple interest (SI)
Principal ($P$) = Rs. 10000
Time ($T$) = 3 years
Let the rate of interest be $R$% per annum.
Formula Used:
SI = $\frac{PRT}{100}$
Compound interest (CI) = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}-P$
So, $\frac{40}{100} \times P= \frac{P \times 8 \times R}{100}$
⇒ $R = \frac{40}{8} = 5$%
We know that
CI = $10000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{3}-10000$
= $10000 \times 1.1576 -10000$
= $1576.25$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,576.25.
