SSC MTS - 04 May 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q7

A sum of Rs. 28500 is lent out at 6.4% per annum simple interest for 10 years. What will be the amount after 10 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 46740.

Simple interest = PRT/100

Where, P = principal, R = rate and T = time

According to the question;

⇒ Simple interest = (28500 × 6.4 × 10)/100 = 18240

Hence, total amount = P + SI = 28500 + 18240 = Rs 46740
