A certain sum is invested for T year.it amounts to Rs.400 at 10% simple interest per annum.But when invested at 4% simple interest per annum, it amounts to Rs.200.Then time(T) is:
x(1+.10*t)=400
x(1+.04*t)=200
Now just solve for t
To find the time (T), we can use the formula for simple interest:
Simple Interest (SI) = Principal (P) * Rate (R) * Time (T)
Given information:
At 10% interest per annum: SI = Rs.400
At 4% interest per annum: SI = Rs.200
Let's start with the case of 10% interest per annum:
SI = P * R * T
400 = P * 0.1 * T
400 = 0.1P * T
Now, let's consider the case of 4% interest per annum:
SI = P * R * T
200 = P * 0.04 * T
200 = 0.04P * T
From the above two equations, we can set up a ratio:
(0.1P * T) / (0.04P * T) = 400 / 200
(0.1P / 0.04P) * T / T = 2
Simplifying the ratio:
(0.1 / 0.04) = 2
Now, we can find the value of T:
0.1 / 0.04 = 2
2.5 = 2
Since the above equation is not true, it means we made a mistake in our calculations or assumptions. Please recheck the given information or the calculations provided.
