Question

The ratio of the principal and the amount (principal along with interest) in 1 yr is 8 : 9; the rate of simple interest per annum is ___

WhatsApp

Answer

Let the principal = ₹ 8x and the amount = ₹ 9x.

∴ Interest = ₹ 9x – ₹ 8x

Rate = \frac{\text { Interest } × 100}{\text { Principal } × \text { Time }}

= \frac{x × 100}{8 × 1}=\frac{25}{2}

∴ Rate = 12 \frac{1}{2}%
