    Question

    Rohit made an investment that yielded a simple interest

    rate of r% per annum, allowing the principal to grow to 180% of its original amount in 5 years. If Rs. 2500 is invested at the same interest rate for a period of 2 years, what would be the total interest earned?
    A Rs. 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. β€˜P’ Therefore, interest earned in 5 years = 1.8P – P = Rs. 0.8P ATQ; 0.8P = (P Γ— r Γ— 5) Γ· 100 Or, r = 80 Γ· 5 Or, r = 16 So, required interest earned = (2500 Γ— 16 Γ— 2) Γ· 100 = Rs. 800
