The interest earned on ₹21,000 in 3 years at simple interest is ₹6,400. What is the rate of interest per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 101063%10 \frac{10}{63}\%.

We know,

Simple interest (SI) = PRT/100

Where P = principal, R = rate and T = time

According to the question;

⇒ 6400 = (21000 × 3 × R)/100

⇒ 6400/630 = R

⇒ R =  101063%10 \frac{10}{63}\%
