In how many years, Rs. 200 will produce the same interest @ 5 % as Rs. 900 produce in 2 years @ 3 ½ % ?

Correct Answer: 6.3 yrs

Explanation:

P = Rs. 900, R = 3 ½ % = 7/2 %, T = 2 years. 


Therefore, 


S.I. = PTR/100


S.I. = Rs. (900 x 7/2 x 2/100) = Rs. 63


Now, P = Rs. 200, S.I. = Rs. 63, R = 5 %


Time = ((100 x 63) / (200 x 5) ) years = 6.3 years.
