HERE IS AN INTERESTING TRICK:

Since, the rate is 9% for 5 years, so total SI is 45%.

Now 45% = 4016.25 so 100% = 4016.25*100/45 = 8925.

Simple interest = 4016.25.
Rate = 9%.
Time=5 year's.

Sum = si * 100/r.
Sum=4016.25 * 100/9 * 5,
= 401625 ÷ 45.
Sum = 8925 answer.

@Basil.

It is given in the question that it is simple interest. So SI formula is applied here. PCPA stands here for per cent per annum.

Simple interest = 4016.25.
Rate = 9%.
Time=5 year's.

Sum = si * 100/r.
Sum=4016.25 * 100/9 * 5,
= 401625 ÷ 45.
Sum = 8925 answer.

Si = 4016.25
R = 9%
N = 5yrs
9×5 = 45%
45% = 4016.25

Take 1% = 4016.25/45 = 8925.
100% = we ×8925 = 8925 is correct answer.

Here, S.i = p * n * r/100.
Ans = 401625= P * 5 * 9/100

Next step 401625 * 100/5 * 9 = p then 40162500/45 => Ans = 8925.

Given:
s.i. =4016.25.
r=9,
t=5 y.

p = (100*s.i.)/r*t.
= 100*4016.25/9*5,
= 401625/45,
= 8925 ans.

Then what is the difference between P. C. P. A and P. A since we use the same formula so we get the same answer?

Swapnil said:   9 years ago
It is very easy.

Take 9 * 5 = 45.

45% = 4016.25.

100%= ?

By cross multiplication we get the answer is 8925.

Total S.I-Rs4016.25.
Rate-9%
Time-5yrs
S.I.=[P*R*T/100]
So,
P=[S.I.*100/R*T]
P=[4016.25*100/9*5]
=8925 Ans.
