SSC CPO 2025 Paper 1 Question Paper (9-Dec-2025) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

SI = ₹1,680; Total = ₹9,680

Simple interest \(SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\).

\(SI = \frac{8000 \times 7 \times 3}{100} = 80 \times 21 = 1680\)

Total amount \(= P + SI = 8000 + 1680 = 9680\).

Hence, SI = ₹1,680 and the total amount to repay is ₹9,680.
