A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 403 in 3 years at the rate of 10% per annum. What is the value of the sum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 310.

A = P + [(P × R × T)/100]

⇒ 403 = P + [(P × 10 × 3)/100]

⇒ 403 = P + (3P/100)

⇒ 1.3P = 403

⇒ P = 403/1.03 = 310
