A sum fetched a total simple interest of Rs. 4016.25 at the rate of 9% p.a. in 5 years. What is the sum?

  • A.Rs. 4462.50
  • B.Rs. 8032.50
  • C.Rs. 8900
  • D.Rs. 8925

Answer: D

\[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]

\[ 4016.25 = \frac{P \times 9 \times 5}{100} = 0.45P \]

\[ P = \frac{4016.25}{0.45} = \text{Rs. } 8925 \]

Five years at 9% comes to 45% of the sum, so the principal is a little over twice the interest.
