SIMPLE INTEREST :

 

A certain sum becomes Rs.20000 in six years and 24000 in eight years at simple interest. Find sum and rate of interest?

  • Rs.14000; 14% p.a.
  • Rs.8000; 25% p.a.
  • Rs.10000; 10% p.a.
  • Rs.16000; 16% p.a.
  • None of these
Answer- B

S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (24000-20000) =4000

S.I for 1 year = Rs 2000

S.I for 6 years =  Rs 6*2000 = 12000

Principal = Rs. (20000 - 12000) = Rs. 8000

Now, P = 8000, T =6, and S.I. = 12000, Rate =(100*12000)/(8000*6)=25%

So Anwser  is Rs 8000, 25%p.a;
