Simple Interest

Question:

Rs. P are invested at 5% per annum of simple interest. After T years an interest of Rs.82 is earned and the amount becomes Rs.902. What is value of T?

Options:

4 years

1 year

3 years

2 years

Correct Answer:

2 years

Explanation:

Principal (P)= x

Rate (R) = 5 %

Time (T) = t

Interest (I) =82

Amount (A) =902

P = A -I

P = 902 - 82 = 820 Rs

Simple Interest(S.I.)=\(\frac{P×R×T}{100}\)

82 = \(\frac{820×5×T}{100}\)

T = \(\frac{82×100}{820×5}\)

Time = 2 years
