      Question

      A person took a loan from a bank at a 20% p.a. simple

      interest. If after 30 months, he repaid Rs. 7,500 to settle his debt, find the principal amount he borrowed.
      A Rs.4641 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.5467 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.6250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the borrowed amount be Rs ‘x’.

      ATQ;

      (7500 – x) = (x × 20 × 30) ÷ (100 × 12)

      Or, (7500 – x) = (5x/10)

      Or, 7500 = {(5x/10) + x}

      Or, 7500 = (15x/10)

      So, x = 5000

      Therefore, the borrowed amount was Rs. 5,000
