SIMPLE PROBLEMS
 1.Find S.I on Rs68000 at 16 2/3% per annum for 9months. 
Sol:-                P=68000 
                        R=50/3% p.a 
                        T=9/12 years=4/3 years 
 
                 S.I=(P*R*T)/100 
                      =(68000*(50/3)*(3/4)*(1/100)) 
                      =Rs 8500 
 
Note:- If months are given we have to converted into years by dividing 
            12 ie., no.of months/12=years 
 
(2)Find S.I on Rs3000 at 18% per annum for the period from 4th Feb to 18th  April 1995 
Sol:-                 Time=(24+31+18)days 
                                 =73 days 
                                 =73/365=1/5 years 
 
 
                       P= Rs 3000 
                       R= 18% p.a 
 
                    S.I = (P*R*T)/100 
                          =(3000*18*1/5*1/100) 
                          =Rs 108 
 
Remark:- The day on which money is deposited is not counted while the day on  which money is withdrawn is counted. 
 
3. In how many years will a sum of money becomes triple at 10% per annum. 
Sol:- Let principal =P 
                      S.I = 2P 
                   S.I = (P*T*R)/100 
                    2P = (P*T*10)/100 
                      T = 20 years 
Note:-(I)  Total amount = Principal + S.I 
          (2) If sum of money becomes double means Total amount or Sum 
                 = Principal + S.I 
                 = P + P = 2P
