Reena took a loan of Rs. 1200 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If she paid Rs. 432 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let rate = R% and time = R years.
| Then, |  |
1200 x R x R |  |
= 432 |
| 100 |
12R2 = 432
R2 = 36
R = 6.

P = 1200.
I = 432.
Time = r.
Rate = r%.
S.I = ptr\100.
432 = 1200*r*r\100.
R2 = 432\12.
R2 = 36 = 6.
I = 432.
Time = r.
Rate = r%.
S.I = ptr\100.
432 = 1200*r*r\100.
R2 = 432\12.
R2 = 36 = 6.

Why here we take t=r?

How you could take the interest (R) and no of the years (R) both are same constant/Value as R?

It is not mention in the question that rate of interest and time duration both are equal.

The answer is D.
Because It is not mentioned in the question that rate of interest and time duration both are equal.

What is p?

R = 100 * si/p * t.
R^2 = 100 * 432/1200.
So 36, Here we are not taking T. Simply we took R as square because R = T.
R^2 = 100 * 432/1200.
So 36, Here we are not taking T. Simply we took R as square because R = T.

So how about making T = x.
It will reach in a point of,
36 = r * x.
In order to make one as subject take the two latter as square and it will lead into 6.
r = 6,
x = 6,
r * x = 36,
6 * 6 = 36.
It will reach in a point of,
36 = r * x.
In order to make one as subject take the two latter as square and it will lead into 6.
r = 6,
x = 6,
r * x = 36,
6 * 6 = 36.
