Question:

Suman paid ₹9,600 in interest on a loan she obtained 5 years ago with a simple interest rate of 16%. What was the amount of the loan she had taken?

Options:

₹13,250

₹12,500

₹12,000

₹11,750

Correct Answer:

₹12,000

Explanation:

Let Principal(P) = 100%

Rate(R) = 16%

Timr(T) = 5 years

Interest(I)= Rate × Time = 16×5= 80%

ATQ

80% = Rs 9600

1% = \(\frac{9600}{80}\) = 120

100%= Rs 12000
