Solution
The extra interest earned = C. I. - S. I. = Rs ( 1,365 - 1,300) = Rs 65.
The interest for the first year = S. I. for 2 years/ 2 =Rs `1300/2` = Rs 650
Therefore, the rate of interest = `65/650 xx 100 = 10 %`
Now ,
S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`
⇒ Rs 1300 = `("P" xx 10 xx 2)/100`
⇒ p = Rs 1300 x 5
⇒ P = Rs 6500
The rate of interest was 10 % and the original sum was Rs 6,500.
