Q: Rohit invested a certain amount at the rate of 6 p.c.p.a. and obtained a simple interest of Rs 8,730

Let the principal be Rs. x S.I = (P × R × T)/100 8730 = (x × 6 × 3)/100 x = 48500 Now, C.I. = P(1+ R/100) t – P C.I. = 48500 (1 + 6/100) 2 – 48500 C.I. = Rs. 5994.60

A Rs 5,820

B Rs 5,949.60

C Rs 5,900

D Rs 5,994.60

E None of these
