In what time a sum of money will triples itself at a rate of simple interest of 4 per annum

this question was to find out at what rate percent will a sum of money triples itself in 12 years ok so what is this question be given that will let the principal has led the principal b is equal to P ok and the time is given to us which is equal to time is given to 12 years find the rate of interest so that the amount will become crys so principal Lokesh we are given that amount this is amount ok Swift to find out what their to contest the mouth to become 33 times of principal so we know that simple interest is given by amount - principal ok and we know that amount is your 2 3 P and P is awesome principle sir Kata topi

how can we know that simple interest and bitterness Pintu identity / 112 get into our into divided by 100 is equal to topi topi and we get her eyes are into t is equal to 200 your cosmetics now time is given processes to I was 12 years old I will get 212 now look at this and we know that to in 200 is given by 206 is my best to get 5252 22236 will get will be 53 Navi Shobhit father can see this is 53553 ok this is 50

you are you but I will know that 3216 is 48 reminder will Bittu ok so we can buy this equation H 58162 by 3% the rate of interest in which the amount to become price of principal for Ansari 16213 thanks so much for watching the video solution

A sum invested on simple interest becomes triple itself in 16 years. Then the rate of interest is?

Answer

Verified

Hint: We will assume the sum invested as x rupees. We have been given that it becomes triple after 3 years which means it becomes 3 x. Now, we know that the final amount = principal amount + simple interest. So, we will find the simple interest from that and using the formula, $\text{simple interest}=\dfrac{\text{principal amount}\times \text{time}\times \text{rate}}{100}$, we will find the rate of interest.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given the time period as 16 years and that the sum becomes triple after 16 years. So, we will first assume the sum invested as Rs. x. We have been given that after 16 years, it becomes triple, so,
Final amount = $3\times x=3x$.
Now, we know that the final amount is the summation of the principal amount and simple interest,
Final amount = principal amount + simple interest, which can be written as,
3 x = x + simple interest, so we get the simple interest as = 3 x - x = 2 x.
Now, we have the principal amount, time and the simple interest, so we will find the rate using the formula, $\text{simple interest}=\dfrac{\text{principal amount}\times \text{time}\times \text{rate}}{100}$. So, by substituting the values of the parameters we get,
$\begin{align}
  & \dfrac{2x}{1}=\dfrac{x\times 16\times rate}{100} \\
 & \Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{1}=\dfrac{16\times rate}{100} \\
\end{align}$
On cross-multiplying, we get,
$\begin{align}
  & rate=\dfrac{2\times 100}{16} \\
 & \Rightarrow rate=12.5\% \\
\end{align}$
Hence, we get the rate of interest as 12.5 %.

Note: There is a possibility that the students think that the simple interest becomes triple of the principal amount, that is simple interest is 3 x. So, in further calculations for finding the rate of interest, they will end up with, $rate=\dfrac{3\times 100}{16}\Rightarrow 18.75\%$. But students should read the question carefully to understand that the sum becomes triple, which means the principal amount becomes triple after 16 years.

A. 5 yrs

B. 10yrs

C. 15 yrs

D. 20 yrs

Solution

Let the principal ( P ) = Rs x Amount = A = Rs 3x Simple interest ( I ) = A - P I = 3x - x I = 2x (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rate of interest ( R ) = 40/3 % Let time = T years PTR/ 100 = I T = ( 100 I ) / PR = ( 100 × 2x ) / ( x × 40/3 ) = ( 100 × 2 × 3 ) / 40 = 15 Therefore , T = 15 years I hope this helps you.

Given:

Rate (R) = 20%

Formula used:

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

Where, S.I. → Simple Interest

P → Principal

R → Rate 

T → Time 

Calculations:

Let the sum of money be  Rs. P.

So, A = 3P

And S.I. = A - P = 3P – P = 2P

Thus T = (100 × S.I.)/(P × R) 

⇒ T = (100 × 2P)/(P × 20) = 10 years

∴ The required time is 10 years.
