    A certain sum at simple interest amounts to Rs. 1350 in 5 yr and to Rs.1620 in 8 yr. What is the sum?

    A)  Rs. 700            

    B)  Rs. 800

    C)  Rs. 900

    D)  Rs. 1000

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[{{A}_{1}}\]= Rs. 1350, \[{{A}_{2}}\]= Rs. 1620
    \[{{t}_{1}}\]= 5 yr and \[{{t}_{2}}\] =8 yr
    Let principal amount be Rs. P.
    \[\therefore \]In time \[=8-5=3yr\]
    Simple interest will be
    \[1620-1350\]= Rs. 270
    \[\therefore \]      \[r=\frac{({{A}_{2}}-{{A}_{1}})\times 100}{{{A}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}-{{A}_{2}}{{t}_{1}}}\]
    \[=\frac{(1620-1350)\times 100}{(1350\times 8-1620\times 5)}\]
    \[=\frac{270\times 100}{10800-8100}=\frac{27000}{2700}\Rightarrow r=10%\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[P=\frac{SI\times 100}{r\times T}=\frac{270\times 100}{10\times 3}\]= Rs. 900
