    Question

    Find the duration (in years) in which ₹1,200 will amount to ₹2,220 at a rate of 20% per annum simple interest.

    A.

    6.25

    B.

    3.25

    C.

    4.25

    D.

    5.25

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Principal (P) = ₹1,200

    Amount (A) = ₹2,220

    Rate of interest (R) = 20% per annum

    We need to find the time (T) in years.

    Formula Used:

    SI = P×R×T100 \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

    Amount = P + SI

    Solution:

    SI = 2220 - 1200 = ₹1020 

    Now,  

    1020 = 1200×20×T100\frac{1200 \times 20 \times T}{100}

    T =  4.25 Years

    Thus, The duration is 4.25 years
