      Solution

      A clock costs Rs. 550 in cash. In the instalment scheme, it requires a down payment of Rs. 250 and Rs. 310 after one month. The extra amount paid is Rs. 10 (Rs. 310 Rs. 300). Simple Interest (SI) = Rs. 10 Principal (P) = 550-250 =Rs. 300 Time (T) = 1/12 years Using the formula SI =(PXRXT)/ 100 10 = (300×R× 1)/12×100 R = 40%
