Option 2 : 15%
Given:
A man borrowed two sums of ₹1,000 and ₹1,500
Returned in 3 years and 4 years respectively at the
Same rate of interest.
Formula used:
Interest(I)/Price(P) = Rate(R) × times(T)/100
Calculation:
⇒ I/P = RT/100
⇒ I1/1000 = 3 × R/100
⇒ I1 = 30 R ----(1)
⇒ I2/1500 = 4R/100
⇒ I2 = 60R ----(2)
From the equation (1) and (2)
⇒ I1 + I2 = 30R + 60R
⇒ 90 R
⇒ 1350 = 90 R
⇒ 15%
∴ The annual rate of interest is 15%.
