SSC CGL - 17 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q61

In how many years will ₹7,200 amount to ₹8,928 at a simple interest rate of 8% per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Three.

SI = 8928 - 7200 = 1728

SI = (P × R × T)/100

⇒ 1728 = (7200 × 8 × T)/100

⇒ 576T = 1728

⇒ T = 1728/576 = 3

Therefore, it will take three years for ₹7,200 to amount to ₹8,928.
