Solution

Rahim borrows Rs. 2,000 at 5% per annum simple interest.

Time period = 3 years

Let amount that Ram borrowed = Rs. $$x$$ at 8%

Simple interest = $$\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$$

According to ques,

=> $$\frac{x\times8\times3}{100}=\frac{2000\times5\times3}{100}$$

=> $$8x=10,000$$

=> $$x=\frac{10000}{8}=Rs.$$ $$1250$$

=> Ans - (A)
