Simple Interest

Question:

At a simple interest Rs.850 becomes Rs.1250 in 5 years. If the interest rate is increased by 5%, how much would Rs.850 become in 4 years?

Options:

Rs.1340

Rs.1430

Rs.1380

Rs.1500

Correct Answer:

Rs.1340

Explanation:

S.I. in 5 years = ₨.1250 - ₨.850 

                     = ₨.400

S.I, in 1 year = \(\frac{400}{5}\) 

                   = ₨. 80

rate = \(\frac{80}{850}\) x 100

       = 9.4 %

Now the rate is increased by 5% = 14.4%

Amount = P + \(\frac{P\;×\;R\;×\;T}{100}\)

             = 850 + \(\frac{850\;×\;14.4\;×\;4}{100}\)

             = 850 + 489.5

             = 1339.6 or 1340
