    B)  Rs. 12000  

    C)  Rs. 13200       

    D)         Rs. 11880

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      Let the principal at the end of first year be Rs. x. Then      \[\frac{x\times 10\times 1}{100}=1320\] or            \[x=13200\] Now, let the original principal be Rs. P. Then. amount after 1 year \[=P+\frac{P\times 10\times 1}{100}=\frac{11P}{10}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{11P}{10}=13200\] or            \[P=\left( \frac{13200\times 10}{11} \right)=Rs.12000\]
