The simple interest received on a certain sum is Rs. 1782 for 3 years. What will the simple interest be on the same sum at the same interest rate for 10 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 5940

We know that,

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

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

⇒1782 = (P × R × 3)/100

⇒59400 = P × R......(1)

Now, S.I on the same sum for 10 years

S.I. = (59400 × 10)/100

S.I. = 5940

The simple interest on the same sum at the same interest rate for 10 years will be Rs.5940.
