Find the time if ₹3,000 amounts to ₹3,600 at 8% simple interest.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Principal (P) = ₹3000

Amount (A) = ₹3600

Simple Interest (SI) = 3600 - 3000= ₹600

Rate (R) = 8%

Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100

600 = (3000 × 8 × T)/100

600 = 240T

T = 600/240

T = 2.5 years
