Calculate the time taken for N3000 to earn N600 if invested at 8% simple interest
  • A.
    2(frac{1}{2}) years
  • B.

  • C.
    3(frac{1}{2}) years
  • D.
    1(frac{1}{2}) years
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Using (S.I =frac{P times T times R}{100})
(600 =frac{3000 times T times 8}{100})
(T =frac{600 times 100}{3000 times 8})
(frac{20}{8})
= 2(frac{1}{2}) years
