The following question has three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is necessary to answer the question. Find the rate of simple interest per annum. I. Amit borrowed Rs. 15000 from Sumit for two years on simple interest. II. Amit returned Rs. 18000 to Sumit at the end of two years and settled the loan. III. The interest paid by Amit is Rs. 3000. Correct Answer Any two of them
Statement I;
Principal = Rs. 15000, T = 2 years
Interest = (P × R × T)/100
Interest = (15000 × R × 2)/100
∴ Rate = Interest/300
∴ Statement I alone is not sufficient to give the answer
Statement II;
Amount = Rs. 18000
Statement II alone is not sufficient to give the answer
Statement III;
It is just information so Statement II alone is not sufficient to give the answer
Statement I + Statement II;
Principal = Rs 15000, Amount = Rs 18000, time = 2 years, Interest = 18000 – 15000 = Rs 3000
∴ Rate = 3000/300 = 10%
∴ Data in Statement I and II is sufficient to give the answer
Statement I + Statement III;
Rate = 3000/300 = 10%
∴ Data in Statement I and III is sufficient to give the answer
Statement II + Statement III;
Amount = Rs 18000, time = 2 years, Interest = 3000
∴ Principal = 18000 – 3000 = 15000
∴ 3000 = (15000 × R × 2)/100
Rate = 3000/300 = 10%
∴ Data in Statement II and III is sufficient to give the answer
Hence Option 1 is correct: Any two of them
