The compound interest on a certain sum at $16\frac{2}{3}\%$ p.a. for 3 years is ₹6,350. What will be the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate for $5\frac{2}{3}$ years ? |
₹10,200 ₹11,400 ₹7,620 ₹9,600 |
₹10,200 |
Rate = 16\(\frac{2 }{3}\)% = \(\frac{1 }{6}\) Time = 3 years Compound interest = Principal × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )t - Principal 6250 = Principal × [ ( 1 + \(\frac{1 }{6}\) )3 - 1 ] 6250 = Principal × [ ( \(\frac{7 }{6}\) )³ - 1 ] 6250 = Principal × [ ( \(\frac{343 }{216}\) ) - 1 ] 6250 = Principal × ( \(\frac{127}{216}\) ) Principal = 10800 Simple interest = \(\frac{ P×R×T }{100}\) Time = 5\(\frac{ 2 }{3}\) = \(\frac{17 }{3}\) years = \(\frac{ 10800 × 1 × 17 }{6× 3× 100}\) = Rs.10200 |
