Question 51

What sum will yield ₹ 491.68 as simple interest at 8% per annum for 1 year and 2 months?

Solution

Given,

Simple interest = 491.68 , Rate of interest = 8%, Time = 1 year and 2 months (or) 1$$\frac{2}{12}$$ (or) 1$$\frac{1}{6}$$

$$\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}$$ = Simple Interest  

Substitute the values,

$$\frac{1\frac{1}{6} \times 8}{100}$$P = 491.68

$$\frac{\frac{7}{6} \times 8}{100}$$P = 491.68

P = (491.68 x 100 x 3)/28

P = 5268

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
