Quantity I: When a boat travels upstream then its speed becomes 75% of the speed of the boat in still water. The speed of the stream is how much percentage of the speed of the boat in still water? Quantity II: When a sum of money was invested at a simple interest then at the end of 8 years the amount becomes 300% of the sum of money. Find the rate of interest?

Quantity II: When a sum of money was invested at a simple interest then at the end of 8 years the amount becomes 300% of the sum of money. Find the rate of interest? Correct Answer <p>Quantity I = Quantity II or No Relation</p>
Calculation:
Quantity I:
Let the speed of the boat in still water = x km per hour
The speed of the stream = y km per hour
According to the question,
⇒ x – y = 75% of y
⇒ 25x = 100y
⇒ x/y = 4 : 1
∴ Required Percentage = 1 × 100/4
⇒ 25%
Quantity II:
Let the sum of money = x
⇒ x + x × 8 × r/100 = 3x
⇒ x × 8 × r/100 = 2x
∴ r = 200/8
⇒ 25%
Quantity I = Quantity II
