S.I = 81, P = 450, R = 4.5.

T = S.I*100/P*R.

T = 81*100*10/450*45 (Cancel 100/450 with 5 and 81 AND 45 CANCEL WITH 9 AND 45 AND 10 CANCEL WITH 5).

T = 9*2*2/9.
T = 36/9.
T = 4 Years.

@Raghu.

We know that I= PTR/100
He gave I=81, p=450, R= 4.5 we have to find time (T)=?
T=100*I/PR
(100*81)/(4.5*450)= 8100/2025= 4 years got it.

Time = [100× S.I/P×R]yrs.
Here, from the equation
S.I = 81₹.
P. = 450₹
R. = 4.5%.
Time (T) = 100 × 81/450 × 4.5,
= 8100/2025.
=4 yrs.

Given,

S.I = 81, P = 450, R = 4.5.

T = S.I*100/P*R.

T = 81*100/450*4.5 (Cancel 100/450 with 5 and 81 with 9).

T = 9*2/4.5.
T = 18/4.5 => 180/45.

T = 4 Years.

@Ragu.

The steps you had done is actually like this,
=(100x81)/(450x4.5)
=(2x81)/(9x4.5)
=(2x9)/(1x4.5)
=4.

You hav taken
=(2x2)/(4.5)
bt actually 81/9 is 9 not 2.

1% of 450 is 4.50.
2% of 450 is doubles the 1% 9.

4% of 450 is. 18.
0.5% of 450 is half the 1% 2.25.

Total 4.5 p.a. is: 20.25.
For 4 years: 4*20.25== 81.

The amount is 1200.
The rate of interest-4.5%,
Thus, amount /interest =si for a year.
1200/4.5--->20.25.

Now, the interest amount 81.

81/20.25===>4years.

we know that formula for calculate the N value.

given data is:
S.I=81.
P=450.
R=4.5.

Formula is N=100*si/p*r.
=100*81/450*4.5.
=8100/2025.
=4.

N=4 years.

@Shruthi.

The I is an interest which had paid for using someone's money whereas p is the principal or sum which is the amount you borrowed from someone.

Ragu said:   1 decade ago
(100*81/450*4.5)=(2*81/9*4.5)=(2*2/4.5)

so 4/4.5=4 (given ans)but

4/4.5=0.8888

So my doubt is how the ans was 4 years? can anyone explain me clearly?
