Simple Interest

Question:

A sum becomes Rs 15,500 in 7 years on simple interest at the rate of 30 percent per annum. What is the total interest for the 7 years ?

Options:

Rs. 12,200

Rs. 1,47,000

Rs. 10,500

Rs. 11,500

Correct Answer:

Rs. 10,500

Explanation:

Amount(A) = 15500

Let Principle (P) = 100

Then total interest (I) = Rate(R) × Time (T)

                                = 30 × 7 = 210

⇒ A = P + I

⇒ A = 100 + 210 = 310

ATQ

⇒ 310 unit = 15500

⇒ 1 uint = 50

⇒ Interest = 210 unit = 210 × 50 = Rs 10500
