Answer:

The rate of interest is6.4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Principal (P) = Rs12500  

         Total amount (A) = Rs16500.

         The time period (t) =5  years

To find : Rate of interest (R) = ?

Solution :

It is given that Principal (P) = Rs. 12500

        Total amount (A) = Rs.   16500

        The time period (t) =5  years  

We have to find rate of interest (R).

We know the formula for simple interest as,

       S.I. = A-P

             = 16500±12500

             = Rs. 4000

Now, to find rate of interest, use the formula for simple interest as

           S.I. =  

          ∴

          ∴ *R

             ∴  

                    ∴  

                       ∴R=6.4  %                          

∴  The rate of interest is6.4 %.
