Question:

On simple interest a sum of ₹ 640 becomes ₹ 832 in 2 years. What will ₹ 860 become in 4 years at the same rate of simple interest?

Options:

₹ 1,250

₹ 1,376

₹ 1,426

₹ 1,150

Correct Answer:

₹ 1,376

Explanation:

ATQ, 640 becomes 832 in 2 years

Interest (I) = Amount(A) - Principal (P)

                 = 832 - 640 = 192

Interest for 1 years = \(\frac{192}{2}\) = Rs 96

Rate% = \(\frac{I}{P}\) × 100

           = \(\frac{96}{640}\) × 100 = 15%

Here,

Principal (P) = 860, Rate (R) = 15%, Time (T) = 4 years

Total S.I. for 4 years = 15 × 4 = 60%

Amount after 4 years = P × 160% = 860 × 160% = Rs.1376
