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

  • A.6.3 years
  • B.8.2 years
  • C.9 years
  • D.12 years

Answer: A

P = Rs 900, R = 3 ½ % = 7/2 %, T = 2 years.
Therefore,
S.I. = PRT/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
