Simple Interest

Question:

What is the rate of interest per annum for simple interest at which Rs. 880 amounts to Rs. 913 in $1 \frac{1}{2}$ years?

Options:

$2 \frac{2}{3} %$

$2 \frac{1}{4} %$

$2 \frac{1}{2} %$

$2 \frac{1}{3} %$

Correct Answer:

$2 \frac{1}{2} %$

Explanation:

Principal (P)=880

Amount (A)=913

Time(T)=\(\frac{3}{2}\) Years

Interest (I) =A-P=33

I=\(\frac{P×R×T}{100}\)

33=\(\frac{880×R×3}{100×2}\)

R=2.5% OR 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
