A sum of ₹ 12,000 is invested at a simple interest rate of 8% per annum. After how many years will the interest amount be ₹ 3,840?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Principal = ₹12,000

Simple Interest = ₹3,840

Rate of Interest = 8% per annum

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

3,840 = (12,000 × 8 × Time) / 100

3,840 = 960 × Time

Time = 3,840 / 960

= 4 years
