Simple Interest

Question:

A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 8000 in 5 years and to Rs. 9600 in 9 years at the same rate percent p.a. of interest. The sum (in Rs.) is?

Options:

3000

6000

 2000

4000

Correct Answer:

6000

Explanation:

Interest of 4 years = 9600 - 8000 = 1600

Interest of 1 year = \(\frac{1600}{4}\) = 400

Interest for 5 years = 400 x 5 = 2000

Principal = 8000 - 2000 = 6000
