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 ---> 81-----> 4.5.
2*4.5 --->. 81-----> 2*4.5,
9 *9 &----- > 81,
2*2 = 4.

Awsome @Sameera.

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

Naowaz said:   8 years ago
Here, I = (P x r x t/100).

@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.

450*4.5% = Rs 18 per year.

To find time 81/18 = 4.5.

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.

Answer is 4.7 because;
amount = 450,
s.i=81,
p is not given,
A=P+I.
P=379,
t=81*100/(4.5*379),
t=4.73.

simple as that;

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