Question

    An investment of Rs. 20,000 at simple interest amounts to

    Rs. 25,500 in 5 years. Find the annual rate of interest.
    A 18.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Interest earned = 25,500 - 20,000 = Rs. 5,500

    Simple interest = Principal × rate × time ÷ 100

    So, 5,500 = 20,000 × rate × 5 ÷ 100

    Or, 5,500 = 1,000 × rate

    Or, rate = 5.5
