A certain sum lent on simple interest amounts to Rs 1380/- in three years and to Rs 1500/- in five years. Find the rate of interest per annum.
Correct Answer:
4
Description:
SI earned in 2 years = 1500 – 1380 = Rs 120/- Let P be principal & R be the rate of interest. Then, (P * 2 * R/100) = 120; or PR /100 = 60; Also, P + (P*3*R/100) = 1380; or P + (3PR/100) = 1380; P + (3 * 60) = 1380; So, P = Rs 1200; R =6000/1200 = 5 %
