What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by certain amount at the same rate of interest for 6 years and that for 9 years?
1 : 3
1 : 4
2 : 3
Data inadequate
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the principal be P and rate of interest be R%.

Required ratio =
P x R x 6
100
= 6PR = 6 = 2 : 3.
P x R x 9
100
9PR 9

Easy way;

Just assume 100 as principle 10 %percetage interest.
So 6years it becomes 160 interest is 60,
9 years it becomes 190 interest 90.
60:90 = 2:3.

@Amrik Singh,

The Rate of interest and principal are constant. As time lies, in the numerator of the formula. The interests will be directly proportional to time.

PTR/PTR.
PR6/PR9,
PR = 6/9,
PR = 2/3.
P:R = 2:3.

@All.

I think there is No change in the rate of interest.

So, 6:9=2:3.

We Know,

SI = [(P*R*T)/100].
Lets Assume P = 100, R = 3%.

Therefore,
SI = [(100*3*6)/100) : [(100*3*9)/100].
= 18 : 27.
= 18/27.
= 2:3.

When the principal and rate of interest are constant, then Simple interest is directly proportional to time.

So, here the answer is 2:3.
