to Important Points :OR Interest = Amount – Principal => S. I. = A – P Rules:RULE 1: Simple Interest (S.I.)= \( \frac{Principal * Rate * Time}{100} \) RULE 2: If there are distinct rates of interest for
distincttime periods i.e. RULE 3: If a certain sum becomes ‘n’ times of itself in T years on Simple Interest, then the rate per cent per annum is, RULE 4: If a certain sum becomes n1
times of itself at R1% rate and n2 times of itself at R2% rate, then, RULE 5: If Simple Interest (S.I.) becomes ‘n’ times of principal i.e. RULE 6: If an Amount (A) becomes ‘n’ times of certain sum (P) i.e. RULE 7: If the
difference between two simple interests is ‘x’ calculated at different annual rates and times, then principal (P) is RULE 8: If a sum amounts to x1 in t years and then this sum amounts to x2 in t yrs. Then the sum is given by RULE 9: If

At what rate of simple interest will a sum of money doubles itself in 25 2 years?Detailed Solution
The Sum of money doubles itself in 25 years. Concept: Simple interest is the interest calculated on the principal portion of the loan or the original contribution to the saving account. ∴ The rate of interest per annum is 4%.
In what time will the simple interest on a certain sum of money at 7.5% per annum be 3/8 of itself?⇒ T = 10 years.
In what time will the simple interest on a certain sum of money at 61 4 Pa be 3/8 of itself?∴Rate(R)=100×IP×T=100×3x8x×254=100×32×25=6% Q. The simple interest on a certain sum of money is 38th of the sum in 614 years.
In what time will the simple interest on a certain sum of money at 6 1 2 per annum be 3/8th of itself?⇒T=6 years.
