#### Solution

In first case :

P = Rs.7500

R = 5%

T = 6 years

Interest =("P"xx"R"xx"T")/100

= Rs.(7500xx5xx6)/100

= Rs.75 × 5 × 6

= Rs.2250

In the second case:

According to the statement, interest = Rs.2250

R = 6.5% P.A.

T = 4 years

P =(100xx"I")/("R"xx"T")

= Rs. (100xx2250)/(6.5xx4)

= Rs. 225000/26 = Rs. 112500/13

= Rs.8653.85

Required principal = Rs.8653.85

Concept: To Find the Principle (P); the Rate Percent (R) and the Time
