Correct Answer: 7 years


Solution : Given, Principal Amount, $P$ = Rs. 10200
The amount received after interest = Rs. 19125
Rate of interest, $R$ = 12.5%
Let the time taken for the amount to become Rs. 19125 be $T$ years
Simple interest here = Rs. (19125 – 10200) = Rs. 8925
Also, simple Interest = $\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$
So, $\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}=8925$
or, $\frac{10200\times 12.5\times T}{100}=8925$
or, $T=7$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 7 years.
