A. Rs. 12000
B. Rs. 6000
C. Rs. 8000
D. Rs. 10000
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the money borrowed by Nitin = Rs. PAccording to the question,
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{{\text{P}} \times 6 \times 3}}{{100}} + \frac{{{\text{P}} \times 9 \times 5}}{{100}} + \frac{{{\text{P}} \times 13 \times 3}}{{100}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}8160 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{\text{18P}}}}{{100}} + \frac{{{\text{45P}}}}{{100}} + \frac{{{\text{39P}}}}{{100}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 1860}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{\text{102P}}}}{{100}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 8160}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{P = Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{{8160 \times 100}}{{102}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. 8000}} \cr} $$

Note : In such type of questions to save your valuable time follow the given below method.
Let principal = Rs. 100
Total Interest
$$\frac{{100 \times 6 \times 3}}{{100}} + \frac{{100 \times 9 \times 5}}{{100}} + $$ $$\frac{{100 \times 13 \times 3}}{{100}}$$
$$\eqalign{ & = 18 + 45 + 39 \cr & = 102{\text{ units}} \cr & {\text{According to the question,}} \cr & {\text{102 units = Rs}}{\text{. 8160}} \cr & {\text{1 unit = Rs}}{\text{. }}\frac{{8160}}{{102}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. 80}} \cr & {\text{100 units = Rs}}{\text{. 8000}} \cr & {\text{Hence sum = Rs}}{\text{. 8000}} \cr} $$
Alternate
Total rate of interest in 11 years
$$\eqalign{ & \left( {6 \times 3} \right)\% + \left( {5 \times 9} \right)\% + \left( {3 \times 13} \right)\% {\text{ }} \cr & \Rightarrow 102\% = 8160 \cr & \Rightarrow 100\% = 8000 \cr & \therefore {\text{Sum = Rs}}{\text{. 8000}} \cr} $$
