Mr. Karan borrowed a certain amount at 6% per annum simple interest for 9 years. After 9 years, he returned Rs. 8110/-. Find out the amount that he borrowed.

Answer»

5,266 RS



Let us assume Mr. Karan BORROWED amount is Rs. A. (the PRINCIPAL)
By formula of simple interest, S.I. = PRT / 100
Where P = The principal, R = RATE of interest as a %, T = Time in years
S.I. = (P * 6 * 9)/100 = 54 P/100
Amount = Principal + S.I.
8110 = P + (54P/100)
8110 = (100P + 54P)/100
8110 = 154P/100
P = (8110 * 100)/154 = Rs. 5266.233
