Q15. At what rate will ₹840 yields an interest of ₹210 in 3 years?


Answer:
The rate of interest is 8.33% per annum.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the rate of interest simple use the formula for simple interest that is:
(P × R × T)/ 100 = I
where:
P = initial amount : 840
R = rate of interest per time period : to find
T = time in years : 3
I = interest : 210
Now rearrange the formula:
I/(P x T) x 100 = R
( 210 x 100)/(840 x 3) = R
21000/2520 = R
8.33 % = R
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use simple interest formula,
Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
Rate = (simple interest × 100)/(principal × time)
= (100 × 210)/(840 × 3)
Calculate
≈ 8.33..%
≈ 8.3% to the nearest tenth
