Options:

₹800

₹1100

₹1000

₹900

Correct Answer:

₹1000

Explanation:

Let initial sum = P

We know ,

Simple Interest = \(\frac{Principal ×Rate × Time }{100}\)

ATQ,

\(\frac{P ×8 × 4 }{100}\) + \(\frac{P ×8 × 8}{100}\) = 960

\(\frac{32P }{100}\) + \(\frac{64P}{100}\) = 960

\(\frac{96P }{100}\) = 960

P = Rs. 1000
