Question 42

The maturity value after three years, of a certain sum at 15% p.a. simple interest, is Rs. 8,700/-. Find the principal amount.

Solution

let principal amount=100x

interest=$$100x\times 3\times \frac{15}{100}$$=45x

maturity amt=100x+45x=145x

given 145x=8700

x=$$\frac{8700}{145}$$

=60

so principal amount $$60\times 100=Rs 6000$$
