SSC CGL - 11 Sep 2024 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

How many years will it take for ₹8,400 to amount to ₹11,928 at a simple interest rate of 7% per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 6.

We know that,

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

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

So,

S.I. = Amount - Principal

⇒ 11928 - 8400 = (8400 × 7 × T)/100

⇒ 3528 = (8400 × 7 × T)/100

⇒ 352800 = 8400 × 7 × T

⇒ 42 = 7 × T

⇒ T = 6 years
