Question : Sunita invested INR 12,000 on simple interest at the rate of 10% p.a. to obtain a total amount of INR 20,400 after a certain period. For how many years did she invest to obtain the above amount?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 7
Correct Answer: 7
Solution : Total amount = INR 20,400 Principal sum, $P$ = INR 12,000 Rate, $R$ = 10% Let $n$ be the time. Simple interest, SI = 20400 – 12000 = 8400 ⇒ SI = $\frac{PnR}{100}$ ⇒ $8400 = \frac{12000 × n × 10}{100}$ ⇒ $n = \frac{840000}{120000} = 7$ Hence, the correct answer is 7.
