Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Given, P = Rs. 17000, T = 4, and SI = Rs. 6800 $ SI=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ R=\frac{SI\times 100}{P\times T}=\frac{6800\times 100}{17000\times 4}=10 $ $ CI=P{{( 1+\frac{R}{100} )}^{t}}-P $
$ \therefore $ $ CI=17000{{( 1+\frac{10}{100} )}^{2}}-17000 $ $ =17000{{( \frac{11}{10} )}^{2}}-17000 $ $ =20570-17000=Rs.3570 $
