At what rate percent per annum will the simple interest on a sum of money be \(\frac{2}{5}\) of the amount in 5 years? |
\(\frac{20}{3}\)% \(\frac{40}{3}\)% \(\frac{25}{3}\)% \(\frac{50}{3}\)% |
\(\frac{40}{3}\)% |
\(\frac{2 → SI}{5 → amount}\) = P + SI SI = \(\frac{3 × R × 5}{100}\) 5 = P + 2 2 = \(\frac{3 × R × 5}{100}\) P = 3 R = \(\frac{40}{3}\)% |
