What is the sum which earned interest? I. The total simple interest was Rs. 7000 after 7 years. II. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 5 years.

Correct Answer: Both I and II are necessary to answer

Explanation:


Let the sum be Rs. x.


I  gives, S.I. = Rs. 7000 and T = 7 years.


II gives, Sum + S.I. for 5 years = 2 x Sum Sum = S.I. for 5 years.


Now, S.I. for 7 years = Rs. 7000.


therefore, S.I. for 1 year =  Rs. 1000.


Thus, I and II both are needed to get the answer.
