Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs.2,904.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the simple interest is

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

According to the question,

P =  Rs.4,840, R = 6%, T = 10 years

⇒ S.I. = (4840 × 6 × 10)/100

⇒ S.I. = 484 × 6

⇒ S.I. = 2904

Hence, the simple interest is  Rs.2,904
