Answer»

GIVEN

At what rate will the simple interest on 20000 for 4 years will be equal to the simple interest on 30000 for 3 years at 10%

SOLUTION

In first CASE

  • Principal = Rs.20000
  • Time = 4yrs
  • Rate = ?

In SECOND case

  • Principal = Rs.30000
  • Time = 3yrs
  • Rate = 10%

According to the given condition

The simple interest on 20000 for 4 years will be equal to the simple interest on 30000 for 3 years at 10%.

(★) Simple interest = P×R×T/100

→ 20000 × R × 4/100 = 30000 × 10 × 3/100

→ 200 ×R × 4 = 300 × 10 × 3

→ 800R = 9000

→ R = 9000/800

→ R = 90/8 = 11.25 %

Hence, the required rate is 11.25 %
