Question

A sum of money is invested at 6% simple interest per annum. How long will it take to increase its value by 60% ?

A.

12 years

B.

8 years

C.

6 years

D.

10 years

Correct option is D

Given:
Rate of interest = 6% per annum
Increase in value = 60%
Formula Used:
SI = P×R×T100\frac{P × R × T}{100}​​
Solution:
Let the principal be P.
Simple interest = 60% of P = 0.6P
0.6P = P×6×T100 \frac{P × 6 × T}{100}​​

0.6 = 6×T100 \frac{6 × T}{100}​​

60 = 6T

T = 606 \frac{60}{6}​ = 10
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
