Simple Interest

Question:

A person lent certain sum of money at the annual rate of 25 percent on simple interest. In 6 years the interest amounted to Rs.360 more than the sum lent. What is the sum lent?

Options:

Rs.600

Rs.360

Rs.720

Rs.540

Correct Answer:

Rs.720

Explanation:

Let Principal(P)= 100%

Rate(R)=25%

Time(T)= 6 years

Total Interest(I) = Rate × Time = 25×6=150%

ATQ

50% = 360 Rs

1% = \(\frac{360}{50}\)

100% = \(\frac{360}{50}\)×100 = Rs 720
