    An amount becomes four times of itself in 30 years at

    simple interest. Find the value of (7R − 40).
    A 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount invested be Rs. 'p'.
    Interest earned = 4p − p = Rs. 3p
    Simple interest = Principal × Rate × Time ÷ 100
    So, 3p = p × R × 30 ÷ 100
    Or, R = (3 × 100) ÷ 30 = 10
    Required value = 7 × 10 − 40 = 70 − 40 = 30
