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


  • Options
  • A. 5.2 yrs
  • B. 7 yrs
  • C. 7.9 yrs
  • D. 6.3 yrs

  • 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.
