Find the amount to be paid at the end of 3 years in each case:

(a) Principal = Rs. 1,200 at 12% p.a.


(b) Principal = Rs. 7,500 at 5% p.a.

(a) According to the question,


Principal (P) = Rs 1200


Rate (R) = 12 % p.a.


Time (T) = 3 years


We know that,


Simple interest (S.I) =


Therefore,


S.I =


= 12 × 12 × 3


= 144 × 3


= Rs 432


Hence,


Amount = Principal + S.I


= 1200 + 432


= Rs 1632


(b) According to the question,


Principal (P) = Rs 7500


Rate (R) = 5 % p.a.


Time (T) = 3 years


We know that,


Simple interest (S.I) =


Therefore,


S.I =


= 75 × 5 × 3


= 75 × 15


= Rs 1125


Hence,


Amount = Principal + S.I


= 7500 + 1125


= Rs 8625
