At a certain annual interest rate, a sum of Rs. 10000 gives a total co...
Let rate of interest be r
C.I = Principal × [(1 + r/100)Time - 1]
⇒ 1881 = 10000 × [(1 + r/100)2 - 1]
⇒ 1881/10000 = [(1 + r/100)2 - 1]
⇒ 0.1881 + 1 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ 1.1881 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ 1.09 = 1 + r/100
⇒ r = 9%
Simple interest = (Principle × Time × r)/100
⇒ S.I = (10000 × 9 × 3)/100 = 2700
∴ Simple interest = Rs. 2700
Alternative Method :
Given, Principal = Rs. 10000
Amount = 10000 + 1881 = Rs. 11881 (After 2 years)
for calculating the rate for 2 years. we have to take square root of both the values
then we get
P = 100 and A = 109
R = 109 - 100/100 × 100 = 9%
Now,
Simple interest = (Principle × Time × r)/100
⇒ S.I = (10000 × 9 × 3)/100 = 2700
∴ Simple interest = Rs. 2700
