Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Interest on 650 for one year = 676 - 650 = 26
$$\eqalign{ & 26 = \frac{{650 \times r \times 1}}{{100}} \cr & r = 4\% \cr & 650 = P\left[ {1 + \frac{4}{{100}}} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 650 = P \times \frac{{26}}{{25}} \cr & \Rightarrow p = \frac{{650 \times 25}}{{26}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,625 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & 26 = \frac{{650 \times r \times 1}}{{100}} \cr & r = 4\% \cr & 650 = P\left[ {1 + \frac{4}{{100}}} \right] \cr & \Rightarrow 650 = P \times \frac{{26}}{{25}} \cr & \Rightarrow p = \frac{{650 \times 25}}{{26}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,625 \cr} $$
