Ques - What is the rate of simple interest at which Rs. 14,000 gives interest of Rs. 1960 in two years?

(a) 4%

(b) 5%

(c) 7%

(d) 10%

Solution - 

Given,

S.I = 1960

P = 14,000

T = 2

R = ?

S.I = (P×R×T) / 100

1960 = ( 14,000 × R × 2 ) / 100

1960 = 280 × R

R = 1960/280

R = 7

Therefore,

The Rate of simple interest is 7%.

Hence,

The correct answer is option (c) 7%.
