Simple Interest

Question:

Guddi invested some money in a bank at rate of 6% per annum. At simple interest, after 9 years, she got Rs. 8470. How much did she invest?

Options:

Rs. 5250

Rs. 6550

Rs. 6400

Rs. 5500

Correct Answer:

Rs. 5500

Explanation:

ROI = 6%, Time = 9 years,

Simple interest for 9 years = 54%,  Amount after 9 years i.e. = 8470 

So, 8470 = Principal × 154% ( 100% = Principle and 54% - Simple interest)

So, Principal = \(\frac{8470 }{ 154}\) x 100 = 5500
