Option 1: 12%

Option 2: 13%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12%


Solution : Given: A person deposited INR 500 for 3 years, INR 650 for 5 years, and INR 1,250 for 7 years.
Total Simple Interest = INR 1,620
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question,
⇒ $1620=\frac{500×R×3}{100}+\frac{650×R×5}{100}+\frac{1250×R×7}{100}$
⇒ $1620=15R+\frac{65R}{2}+\frac{175R}{2}$
⇒ $1620=\frac{30R+65R+175R}{2}$
