Given:

S.I = 4P/5

Rate(R) = 20%

Formula used:

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

Calculation:

Let the time be x years and the sum of money be Rs. P

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

⇒ Simple Interest = (P × 20 × x)/100

⇒ (4/5) × P = (P × 20 × x)/100

⇒ x = 4

∴ The required time is 4 years.

Solution:

Let the certain sum of money = Rs. P

Given: Rate of interest = 6%

We have, Simple interest = PTR/100

Where P is the sum, T is time period and R is rate of interest
 

As per the question:

∴ Time required = 10 years 5 months

hi welcome to the sweet you and the question is in what time will the interest on a certain sum of money at 6% be 5 by 8 of itself so first of all let us assume the principal be rupees p so according to the question simple interest is equal to rupees 5 by 8 times of P also rate of interest charge is equal to 6% per annum and we just need to find the value of time period that is now by using the formula of simple interest which is equal to p into a into it over hundred now after putting the given value so here is equal to 5 by 8 of which is equal to p into a that is 6 into it over 100

Nav simplifying this you can cancel the speed with this we also we can cancel this 602/3 here and 50 here and also we can just right this time period is equal to 5 into 50 over 3 into 8 we can cancel this by 225 time and again this way to show time so this will give us 125 over 12 so we can just write this as 10 whole 5 by 12 years so the value of time period is 10 whole 5 by 12 years this is the final answer I hope you have understood thank you

Hint: Simple interest or interest figured on the principal amount only, for the duration of the loan.
The rate % (percentage) per annum on the principal amount and the duration of the loan are the factors for calculating simple interest.Complete step by step solution:
Step 1
Let the time period = t years
Let the principle amount = P rupees
Given:
Rate % per annum on principal amount P = 6%

Step 2
Condition for interest stated in question:
Interest amount is $\dfrac{5}{8}$ times of principal amount, P.
$ \Rightarrow {\rm{I}} = \dfrac{5}{8}{\rm{P}}$ …… (1)

Step 3
Here, I in terms of P, P and r are given, only one unknown time period, t
Therefore,
Using simple interest formula, where
                                                              ${\rm{I}} = \dfrac{{\Pr t}}{{100}}$
$\begin{array}{l}
 \Rightarrow {\rm{ }}\dfrac{5}{8}P = \dfrac{{P \times 6 \times t}}{{100}}\\
 \Rightarrow {\rm{ }}\dfrac{5}{8}{P} = \dfrac{{{P} \times 6 \times t}}{{100}}\\
 \Rightarrow {\rm{ t}} = \dfrac{{5 \times 100}}{{8 \times 6}}\\
 \Rightarrow {\rm{ t}} = \dfrac{{125}}{{12}}
\end{array}$
Hence, t = 10.41 years

Step 4
To convert the time period, t according to the options:
We know, 1 year = 12 months
          $\begin{array}{l}
0.41{\rm{ years}} = 0.41 \times 12{\rm{ months}}\\
{\rm{ = 4}}{\rm{.92 months}}\\
{\rm{ }} \simeq 5{\rm{ months}}
\end{array}$
Therefore, time period = 10 years and 5 months

Note:
When numbers of years are converted into days, it is always multiplied by 365, whether it is a leap year or an ordinary year.
Day on which the money is borrowed is not counted but the day on which the money is returned is counted.

What time will the interest on a certain sum of money at 6% be 5 8 of itself?

In what time will the interest on a certain sum of money at 7% be of itself?
