Q34 of 37 Page 35

Mr. Jane donates Rs 1 lakh to a school and the interest on it is to be used for awarding five scholarships of equal value. If the value of each scholarship is Rs 1 500 find the rate of interest.

Let, Principal (P) = Mr. Jane donated amount

P = Rs 100000


Each scholarship value = Rs 1500


Value of 5 scholarships = 5 × 1500 = Rs7500


Interest (I) = value of 5 scholarships


I = Rs 7500


Rate of interest per annum = R %


Time (T) = 1 year


We know that,






R = 7.5 %


Rate of interest = R = 7.5 %
