    A Rs. 8,100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 10,252 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 12,564 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 14,756 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 16,402 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    X × (250/400) × 2 = 40495 – X Or, (5X/8) + X = 40495 Or, (13X/8) = 40495 Or, X = 40495 × (8/13) So, X = 24,920 Required interest = (X + 3000) × (15/100) × 3 = (24920 + 3000) × (15/100) × 3 = 27,920 × (45/100) = Rs. 12,564 Correct Option: c) Rs. 12.564
