Option 2: 2,514

Option 3: 2,642

Option 4: 2,592

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2,592


Solution : Let P be the principal sum.
Simple Interest, SI = $\frac{1}{4}$×P
Number of years = n
Interest rate, R = 4n
SI = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$
$\frac{P}{4}$ = $\frac{P×n×4n}{100}$
⇒ $n^2 = \frac{100}{4×4}$
⇒ $n = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5$
R = 4 × 2.5 = 10%
