Question:

Options:

1 year 6 months

2 year 6 months

2 year 3 months

1 year 5 months

Correct Answer:

1 year 6 months

Explanation:

Amount = Principal + Interest

13780 = 13000 + Interest

Interest = 780

We know  ,

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

780 = \(\frac{13000 × 4 × Time }{100}\)

Time = 1.5 years

= 1 year 6 months
