A. Rs. 9000
B. Rs. 8400
C. Rs. 7500
D. Rs. 8000
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the principal be x Rs. Now,$$\eqalign{ & C.I. = P\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^T} - 1} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 1261 = x\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^3} - 1} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 1261 = x\left( {\frac{{9261}}{{8000}} - 1} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow 1261 = x\left( {\frac{{9261 - 8000}}{{8000}}} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow 1261 = \frac{{1261x}}{{8000}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{1261 \times 8000}}{{1261}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,8000 \cr} $$
