It is given that..
S.I.=(P * R * T)/100

1200= P * 5 * 3 /100

1200*100= 15P

120000/15 = P

8000 = P
Therefore, Principal= $8000

Now, A=P(1+r/100)^n {A is amount, R is rate , P is principal and N is time(No. of years)}

A= 8000(1+(5/100)^3

A= 8000(1+1/20)^3
Taking LCM of 1,20 gives 20..

A= $(8000 × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20)
A= $ 9261

C.I. = Amount - Principal

C.I.= $9261-8000
C.I.= $1261 (answer)
