Q:

A sum of money amounts to Rs. 9800 after 5 years and Rs. 12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is:

A) 5% B) 8%
C) 12% D) 15%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12%

Explanation:

 

S.I. for 3 years = Rs. (12005 - 9800) = Rs. 2205.

 

S.I. for 5 years = Rs.22053×5= Rs.3675

 

Principle = Rs.(9800-3675) = Rs.6125

 

Hence, Rate = 100×36756125×5 =12%
