Question

A sum of Rs. 800 amounts to Rs. 920 in 3 years at simple interest. If the interest rate is increased by 3%, it would amount to how much?

Options:
A .  764
B .  992
C .  850
D .  770
E .  None of these
Answer: Option B
 -  

S.I = Rs. (920 – 800) = Rs. 120; P = Rs. 800, T = 3 yrs

 R = ( 100 X 120 )% =  5%
              800 X 3

New rate = (5 + 3) % = 8%

New S.I. = Rs. (800 X 8 X 3) == Rs. 192.
                              100

New amount = Rs. (800 + 192) = Rs. 992
