A sum was put a simple interest at a certain rate for 3 years . Had it been put at 2%  higher rae , it would have fetched Rs. 360 more . Find the sum .


Options:
A .  Rs. 5000
B .  Rs. 5500
C .  Rs. 6000
D .  Rs. 6500
Answer: Option C

Let sum = P and original rate = R. Then ,` [{P xx (R + 2) xx 3)/(100)]  - [(P xx R xx 3)/(100)]` = 360

`hArr`  3PR + 6P - 3PR = 3600    

`hArr`  6P = 36000

`hArr`  P = 6000.

Hence , sum  = Rs. 6000
