SSC MTS - 19 July 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

At what time will ₹13,000 be lent at 4 percent per annum on simple interest amounting to 16,770?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7.25 years.

Amount - Principal = Simple interest

16770 - 13000 = 3770

SI = (P × r × t)/100

⇒ 3770 = (13000 × 4 × T)/100

⇒ T = 377000/(4 × 13000)

⇒ T = 7.25 Years
