Simple Interest

Question:

Find the rate of simple interest per annum at which a sum of ₹1,200 will amount ₹1,800 in 4 years.

Options:

12.5%

14%

15%

10%

Correct Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Simple interest of 4 years = 1800 - 1200 = 600

Simple interest of 1 years = 150

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

150 = \(\frac{1200 ×Rate × 1 }{100}\)

Rate = \(\frac{150 × 100 }{1200×  1  }\)

= 12.5%
