Correct Answer: 19


Solution : Total amount = Rs. 17,622.5
Sum = Rs. 9,500
Rate = 4.5%
Let $n$ be the time.
Simple Interest = Total amount – Sum = 17622.5 – 9500 = Rs. 8,122.5
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
$⇒ 8122.5 = \frac{9500×n×4.5}{100}$
$\therefore n= 19$
Hence, the correct answer is 19.
