    B Rs. 1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1290 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. x Therefore, simple interest received = Rs. (x тАУ 400) According to the question, {(x ├Ч 15 ├Ч 5)/100} = x тАУ 400 => 0.75x = x тАУ 400 => 0.25x = 400 => x = 400/0.25 = 1600 Therefore, simple interest received = x тАУ 400 = 1600тАУ 400 = Rs. 1200
