    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.

     

     R =\( [\frac { 100*60 } { 100*6 }]\)= 10% p.a.

     

    Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

     

    C.I.=Rs[12000*{(1+\( \frac { 10 } {100 } ^3\))-1}]

         

          =Rs.[12000\( *\frac { 331 } { 1000 } ] \)

         

          =Rs.3972
