Solution
Qualifying principal for various months:
| Month | Principal |
| April | Rs. 6000 |
| May | Rs. 7000 |
| June | Rs. 10000 |
| July | Rs. 6000 |
| August | Rs. 6000 |
| September | Rs. 7000 |
| Total | Rs. 42000 |
Here, P= Rs. 42,000
Let R% be the rate of interest and T = `1/12` year
Given that the interest, I = Rs.175
Now, `I= (PxxRxxT)/100`
`=> 175 = (42000 xx R xx 1)/(100xx 12)`
`=> R = (175xx100xx12)/42000 = 5%`
Thus, the rate of interest is 5%.
