    C Rs. 1920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. ‘P’ Therefore, interest earned in 2 years = 1.4P – P = Rs. 0.4P ATQ; 0.4P = (P × r × 2) ÷ 100 Or, r = 40 ÷ 2 Or, r = 20 So, required interest earned = (3200 × 20 × 3) ÷ 100 = Rs. 1920
