Given
Si=81
P=450
R=4.5
T=?

We know si=PRT/100.
Therefore T=si*100/P*R,
=81*100/450*4.5,
=81*10/45*4.5,
=81*2/9*4.5,
=9*2/4.5,
=18/4.5,
=4.

450 * 4.5/100 = 450/100 = 4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25.
81/20.25 = 4.

We can check by options also;

We know that S.I=PTR/100.
A.(450*3.5*4.5) ÷ 100=70.8,
B.(450*4*4.5) ÷ 100=81(ans) means 4years,
C.(450*4.5*4.5) ÷ 100=91.1
D.(450*5*4.5)÷100=1001.2.

450*4.5% = Rs 18 per year.

To find time 81/18 = 4.5.

S=p+I and t=(s/p-1)/r.

@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.

simple as that;

t = (100*81)/(450*4.5),
= 8100/{450*45/10},
= 8100/2025,
= 4.

Thanks @Rajesh.

In this question principal is given or amount is given since as we know amount = principal + simple interest ?
