Question

The interest on a certain sum of money is 0.24 times itself in 3 years. Find the rate of interest.

Sum

Solution

Let the sum borrowed = Rs.100

Time = 3 years

Let rate of interest = r%

∴ Interest =`(100xx3xx"r")/100` ....`[∵"S.I"=("P"xx"R"xx"T") /100]`

= 3r = (0.24) (100) = 24 .......(Given)

⇒ r =`24/3` = 8

Hence reqd. rate of interest = 8%
