Simple Interest

Question:

If simple interest on Rs. 300 increases by Rs. 15, when the rate percent increases by 4% per annum. Find the time.

Options:

\(1\frac{1 }{3}\) years

\(1\frac{1 }{2}\) years

\(1\frac{1 }{4}\) years

2 years

Correct Answer:

\(1\frac{1 }{4}\) years

Explanation:

The increase in interest is due to rate percent 

⇒ \(\frac{300\;×\;4\;×\;time}{100}\) = 15

time = \(\frac{5}{4}\) or 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) years
