In how many years, Tk. 150 will produce the same interest @ 8% as Tk. 800 produce in 3 years @ (9/2)% ?

A 6

B 8

C 9

D 12

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Here 
   P =Tk.800,
   r = 9/2​%.
  n = 3 years

∴S.I.= Tk.(800 × 9 × 3)/(2 × 100)​
       = Tk.108

Now,
S.I.= Tk.108
P = Tk.150,
r = 8% = 8/100

We know
I = Pnr
n = I/Pr
   = 108/(150 × 8/100) 
   = (100 × 108)/(150 × 8)
   = 9 years
