Question:

In how much time will a sum of Rs. 5250 amounts to Rs. 9870 at the rate of 11 percent per annum at simple interest ?

Options:

8 years

14 years

12 years

15 years

Correct Answer:

8 years

Explanation:

Principal (P) = 5250 Rs

Amount (A) = 9870 Rs

Rate (R) = 11% p.a.

Interest = A - P = 98780 - 5250 = Rs 4620

S.I. = \(\frac{P×R×T}{100}\)

4620 = \(\frac{5250×11×T}{100}\)

∴ Time = 8 years
