Given:

Amount (A) = Rs. 1,100

Time(T) = 2 years

Rate of simple interest per annum(R) = 5%

Formula used:

Simple interest(SI) = (P × R × T) / 100

SI = A - P

Calculation:

Let, P = principal.

As per the question,

⇒  1100 - P =  (P × 5 × 2) / 100 

⇒  1100 - P =  P /10

⇒ 11P/10 = 1100

⇒ 11P = 11000

⇒ P = Rs 1000

∴ The correct option is 3
