What sum (in ₹) will earn a simple interest of ₹360 in 2 years at 8% per year rate of interest?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 1  i.e.  2250.

The simple interest formula: SI = (P × R × T) / 100

Given: SI = ₹360, R = 8%, T = 2 years

360 = (P × 8 × 2) / 100

360 = (16P) / 100

P = (360 × 100) / 16 = ₹2250
