SSC CHSL - 27 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q61

What sum will amount to ₹8800 in 2 years at 10% simple interest per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

Amount (A) = ₹8800

Interest rate (R) = 10% per annum

Time (T) = 2 years

By the formula:

A = P(1 + RT/100)

8800 = P(1 + 10 × 2/100)

8800 = P(1 + 20/100)

8800 = P(1.2)

P = 8800 / 1.2

P = ₹7333.33 (approximately)
