Simple Interest

Question:

In how much time will a sum of ₹5,000 invested at the rate of 15% simple interest per annum amount to ₹6,500?

Options:

2.5 years

1 year

1.5 years

2 years

Correct Answer:

2 years

Explanation:

Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

6500 = 5000 + Simple Interest

Simple Interest = 6500 - 5000 = 1500

We know ,

Simple Interest = \(\frac{Principal ×Rate × Time }{100}\)

1500 = \(\frac{5000 × 15 × Time }{100}\)

Time = 2 years
