James deposits a sum of Rs 800 that will amount to Rs 920 in 3 years. However, the bank decides to increase the interest rate by 4%. What amount will he receive now?

(A)

Rs 1015

(B)

Rs 1016

(C)

Rs 1025

(D)

Rs 1102


Answer: (B)

Explanation:

James gets simple interest (SI) = Rs 920-800 = Rs 120. 

Here, Principal (P) = Rs 800 and Time (T) = 3 years. 

We know, Rate (R) = (100×SI)/(P×T) = (100×120)/(800×3) = 5%. 

Given, New Rate = 9%. So, New Interest = P×R×T = 800×0.09×3 = Rs 216. 

Therefore, James will get Rs (800+216) = Rs 1016.
