SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 52

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5000.

Difference between CI and SI for 3 years = ₹155

Rate = 10% per annum

Time = 3 years

The difference (CI - SI) for 3 years = P × ($\frac{R}{100}$)²($\frac{300+R}{100}$)

⇒ 155 =  P × ($\frac{10}{100}$)²($\frac{300+10}{100}$)

⇒ 155 = P × (1/100)(31/10)

⇒ P = 5000
