Option 2 : 3

GIVEN:

Principal = Rs. 10000

SI = Rs. 5300

CONCEPT:

Simple interest concept.

Cumulative rate if the rate of interest is ‘R1’ for ‘T1’ years and ‘R2’ for ‘T2’ years = R1T1 + R2T2

FORMULA USED:

SI = PRT/100

Where P = Principal, R = rate of interest, T = Time

CALCULATION:

Cumulative rate = 7 × 5 + r × 6 = (35 + 6r)%

Now,

/100 = 5300

⇒ (35 + 6r) = 53

⇒ 6r = 18

⇒ r = 3

∴ The value of ‘r’ is 3%.
