    An amount becomes eight times of itself in 56 years at

    simple interest. Find the value of (6R − 25).
    A 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount invested be Rs. 'p'.
    Interest earned = 8p − p = Rs. 7p
    Simple interest = Principal × Rate × Time ÷ 100
    So, 7p = p × R × 56 ÷ 100
    Or, R = (7 × 100) ÷ 56 = 12.5
    Required value = 6 × 12.5 − 25 = 75 − 25 = 50
