p = 450,r = 4.5,i = 81,t = ?
I = P * R * T/100 now we have to find t=? so,
t = 100 * I/P * R.
t = 100 * 81/450 * 4.5.
= 100 * 81/45 * 10 * 4.5 (45 * 10 = 450).
= 100 * 81/45 * 45 (4.5*10 = 45).
= 36/9.
t =4.

@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.

Clarify me difference between I and p.

S.I = p*t*r/100.

100*S.I = p*t*r.

100*S.I/p*r = t.

Here p = 450, S.I = 81, r = 4.5 substitute above we get answer.

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.

Let's we gone to take an answer.

450*45*4/100*10.

So the answer came to the 81 rs.

That amount we shown in question so answer is true.

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.

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.

t = ?
P = Rs.450.
S.I = 81.
R = 4.5%.

As we know : SI = P*R*T/100.
: T = S.I*100/P*R.
i.e: 81*100/450*405 = 4 yr.

Yes @Sandhya I agree your view.

But here sum (or) principle is not given but he say that Rs450 to yield means we have to keep in mind that the amount never yield (produce) interest only the principle will (produce) interest; so the given amount is principle only.
