यदि एक राशि साधारण ब्याज की एक निश्चित दर से चौथे वर्ष और पांचवें वर्ष के अंत में क्रमशः ₹12900 और ₹14250 हो जाती है, तो ब्याज की दर है:
Detailed Solution & Logic
18%
In simple interest, the increase in amount per year is constant.
Amount at end of 5th year = ₹14,250
Amount at end of 4th year = ₹12,900
Interest for 1 year = ₹14,250 − ₹12,900 = ₹1,350
So, yearly interest = ₹1,350
Interest for 4 years = $4 \times 1350 = 5400$
Principal:
$P = 12900 - 5400 = 7500$
Now, rate:
$r = \frac{100 \times 1350}{7500} = 18%$
So, the rate of interest is 18% per annum.
