Rs. 800 becomes Rs. 956 in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. If the rate of interest is increased by 4%, what will Rs. 800 amount to in 3 years:

Solution

Correct Option: 3

Initial SI = 956800=156956 - 800 = 156. Rate: R=(156×100)/(800×3)=6.5%R = (156 \times 100)/(800 \times 3) = 6.5\%. New rate = 6.5+4=10.5%6.5 + 4 = 10.5\%. New SI = (800×10.5×3)/100=252(800 \times 10.5 \times 3)/100 = 252. New amount = 800+252=800 + 252 = Rs. 1052.
