Given:

Principal (P) = ₹1,200

Amount (A) = ₹2,280

Rate (r) = 4% per annum

Formula used:

Simple Interest (SI) = P × r × t / 100

⇒ SI = A - P

Calculations:

SI = A - P

⇒ SI = ₹2,280 - ₹1,200 = ₹1,080

Using SI = P × r × t / 100:

⇒ ₹1,080 = ₹1,200 × 4 × t / 100

⇒ ₹1,080 = ₹48 × t

⇒ t = 22.5 years

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
