Solution
Given:
Principal (P) = 12000 rupees,
Rate of interest (R) = 9%
Total Amount = 17400 rupees
Formula:
Total interest (I) = Total Amount − Principal
Solution:
Total interest (I) = 17400 − 12000
= 5400 rupees
Time (T) = `("I"xx100)/("P"xx"R")`
= `(5400xx100)/(12000xx9)`
= 5 years
Hence, Javed had deposited the money for 5 years.
