SSC GD Const (English) - 21 Feb 2024 Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q47

Find the sum required to earn monthly interest of Rs. 350 at 7% per annum at simple interest.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs. 60,000.

We know that,

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

here, S.I. = Simple Interest, P = principal, R = Rate, and T = Time

⇒ 350 = (P × 7 × 1)/100

⇒ 7P = 35000

⇒ P = 5000 [monthly]

Yearly sum = 5000 × 12 = Rs.60000
