A sum of ₹2,400 gives a simple interest of ₹504 in 3 years. Find the rate of interest per annum.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 7%.

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

₹504 = (₹2,400 × Rate × 3)/100

Rate = (₹504 × 100)/(₹2,400 × 3) = 7%

Therefore, the rate of interest per annum is 7%.
