b) Rs. 845.40
c) Rs. 1536
d) None of these

Answer: d
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Sum}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{100 \times 1536}}{{12 \times 5}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}2560 \cr & P = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {2560 + 1000} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}3560 \cr & {\text{T}} = {\text{2years}} \cr & {\text{R}} = {\text{12}}\% \cr & S.I. = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{3560 \times 12 \times 2}}{{100}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,854.40 \cr} $$
