Simple Interest

Question:

At what rate of interest will a sum of Rs. 2700 amount to Rs. 4725 at simple interest for 15 years?

Options:

3.5%

5%

15%

10%

Correct Answer:

5%

Explanation:

P = 2700

Amount = 4725

SI (15 years) = 4725 - 2700 = 2025

S.I. (1 year) = 135

Rate % = \(\frac{SI (1 year)}{Principal}\) × 100

           = \(\frac{135}{2700}\) × 100 = 5%
