For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained. Thus, III is redundant. Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200. Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000. Thus, Rate = 100 x 1200 = 5% p.a. 2 x 12000 Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained. Thus, I is redundant. Hence, I or III redundant.
