Q:

In what time will Rs. 1860 amount to Rs. 2641.20 at simple interest 12% per annum?

A) 2.9 years B) 3.5 years
C) 4.2 years D) 4.7 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3.5 years

Explanation:

Given that Rs. 1860 will become Rs. 2641.20 at 12%

 

=> Simple Interest = 2641.20 - 1860 = Rs. 781.20

 

We know I = PTR/100

 

=> 781.20 x 100 = 1860 x T x 12

 

=> T = 78120/1860x12

 

=> T = 78120/22320

 

=> T = 3.5 years.
