  • Question
  • Arun took a loan of Rs. 29000 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Rs. 10440 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?


  • Options
  • A. 5.5%
  • B. 6%
  • C. 6.5%
  • D. 7%

  • Correct Answer
  • 6% 

    Explanation

    Principle amount = Rs. 29000

    Interest = Rs. 10440

    Let rate of interest = r%

    => So, time = r years

    According to the question,

    10440 = 29000 x r x r/100

    290 x r x r = 10440

    r x r = 1044/29 = 36

    r = 6

     

    Hence, the rate of interest = 6% and time = 6 yrs.
