a sum of money amount to RS.9800 after 5years and rs. 12005 after 8years at the same rate of simple interest then find the rate of interest per annum
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Sum of money = Rs. 9800
Time = 5 years
Solution :-
Simple Interest for 3 years = (Rs.12005 - Rs.9800)
Simple Interest for 3 years = Rs. 2205
Simple Interest for 5 years = 2205/ 3 × 5
Simple Interest for 5 years = Rs. 3675
Principal = (Rs.9800 - Rs.3675)
Principal = Rs. 6125
R = 100 × SI /P × T
R = 100 × 3675/ 6125 × 5
R = 12 %
Hence, the rate of interest per annum is 12%.
- amount after 5 years = 9800
- amount after 8 years = 12005
Rate = ???
we know that , in simple interest , our interest is sams every year,
so, in 3 years from 5 to 8 his amount increase because of interest only ,
increase amount in 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205
so,
increase amount every year = 2205 /3 = 735 rs.
every year he got an interest of 735 rs ,
so, in first 5yrs his total Simple interest will be = 735 × 5 = 3675 Rs..
Now we know that ,
Principal = Amount - simple interest
Principal = 9800 - 3675 = 6125 Rs...
so,
Now our Rate is = (SI of 1 year × 100)/Principal
Rate = (735×100)/6125 = 12%
So, our Required rate is 12% .....
