    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 \[=8-5=3\,yr\] Simple interest will be \[1620-1350=Rs.\,270\] \[\therefore \]      \[r=\frac{({{A}_{2}}-{{A}_{1}})\times 100}{{{A}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}-{{A}_{2}}{{t}_{1}}}\]               \[=\frac{(1620-1350)\times 100}{(1350\times 8-1620\times 5)}\]   \[=\frac{270\times 200}{10800-8100}=\frac{27000}{2700}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[r=10%\] \[\therefore \]      \[P=\frac{SI\times 100}{r\times T}=\frac{270\times 100}{10\times 3}=Rs.\,900\]
