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.

I don't understand how we will we take T=R & what is mean of as many year as the rate of interest give actual mean of this sentence.

My Answer is 3.6%.
1200*3. 6% = 43.2
Ok now many years means 10 years
So 43.2 * 10 years = 432
Please tell me this is right or wrong, if wrong why?
1200*3. 6% = 43.2
Ok now many years means 10 years
So 43.2 * 10 years = 432
Please tell me this is right or wrong, if wrong why?

Why we take R inplace of T ?

Because rate is equal to year they given in question itself.
so we took t=r we can also write like r=t=r all are same in this question.
so we took t=r we can also write like r=t=r all are same in this question.

Can anyone solve this, by using the following formula,
S.I=P*N*R/100,
where, S.I=Simple Interest,
P=Principal Amount.
N= Period of time.
and, R= Rate of Interest.
S.I=P*N*R/100,
where, S.I=Simple Interest,
P=Principal Amount.
N= Period of time.
and, R= Rate of Interest.

Friend, There you can use,
t = r = x.
Then r=t or x,
t = r or x.
Thus, r^2 or t^2 or x^2. Hope now you understand.
t = r = x.
Then r=t or x,
t = r or x.
Thus, r^2 or t^2 or x^2. Hope now you understand.

Assume 6 as time and rate of interest.
Then 6% of 1200 is 72.
For six years means (72*6) = 432.
Hence our assumption is correct and 6 is the answer.
Then 6% of 1200 is 72.
For six years means (72*6) = 432.
Hence our assumption is correct and 6 is the answer.

Why do we have a 100?

R = (S.I*100/P*T).
S.I = 432;
P = 1200;
T = R;
R = 432*100/1200*R.
R2 = 36.
R = 6.
S.I = 432;
P = 1200;
T = R;
R = 432*100/1200*R.
R2 = 36.
R = 6.
