    5400 in 10 years at any certain rate of simple interest. Find the principal amount.

    Solution

    Simple interest for 4 years = 5400 – 4000 = Rs. 1400 Simple interest for 1 year = 1400/4 = Rs. 350 Simple interest for 6 years = 350 × 6 = Rs. 2100 So, required principal amount = 4000 – 2100 = Rs. 1900
