\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\text { (iv) } 30 \frac{1}{5} \% \\
&=\frac{30 \frac{1}{5}}{100}=\frac{\left(\frac{151}{5}\right)}{100} \\
&=\frac{151}{500}
\end{aligned}$
(v) $\frac{7}{20} \%$
$\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{\frac{7}{20}}{100}=\frac{7}{20 \times 100} \\

Question 1.

Level of water in a tank is increased from 35 litres to 50 litres in 2 minutes, what is the Percentage of increase?
Solution:
Level of water in the tank originally $=35$ litres.
Increase in the water level = amount of change $=50-35=15$ litres

$\begin{aligned}
\text { Percentage of Increase } &=\frac{\text { Amount of change }}{\text { Original amount }} \times 100 \\
&=\frac{3}{35} \times 100=\frac{300}{7}=42.86 \%

Question $1 .$
Arjun borrowed a sum of $₹ 5,000$ from a bank at $5 \%$ per annum. Find the interest and amount to be paid at the end of three year.
Solution:
Here Principal $(\mathrm{P})=₹ 5,000$
Rate of interest $(r)=5 \%$ Per annum
Time $(n)=3$ years
Simple Interest I = $\frac{p m r}{100}$
$=\frac{5000 \times 3 \times 5}{100}$
Amount to be paid $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{I}=₹ 5,000+₹ 750=₹ 5,750$
$\mathrm{I}=₹ 750 ; \mathrm{A}=₹ 5,750$
 

Question $2 .$
Shanti borrowed $₹ 6,000 /$ - from a Bank for 7 years at $12 \%$ per annum. What amount will clear off her debt?
Solution:
Here principal $(P)=₹ 6,000$
Rate of Interest $(r)=12 \%$ Per annum
Time $(n)=4$ Years
Simple Interest (I) $=\frac{p n r}{100}=$
$=\frac{6000 \times 7 \times 12}{100}$ $I=₹ 5,040$
Amount to be paid $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{I}=6,000+5,040=₹ 11,040$

Question $1 .$

In simple interest, a sum of money doubles itself in 10 years. In how many years it will get triple itself.
Solution:
Let the Principal be P and Rate of interest be $\mathrm{r} \%$ per annum.
Here the number of years $n=10$ years
Given in 10 years $P$ becomes $2 \mathrm{P}$.
$\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{I}$
After 2 years $A=2 P$
i.e. $2 \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{P}+1$
$2 \mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{I}$

$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{P} &=\mathrm{I} \\
\mathrm{P} &=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times n \times r}{100} \\
\mathrm{P} &=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times 10 \times r}{100} \\
r &=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times 100}{\mathrm{P} \times 10} \\
r &=10 \%
\end{aligned}$
Now if the amount becomes triple then $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{I}=3 \mathrm{P}$
$3 P=P+I$
$3 \mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{I}$
$2 P=1$
$2 \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{P} \times n \times 10}{100}$
$\begin{aligned} \frac{2 \mathrm{P} \times 100}{\mathrm{P} \times 10} &=n \\ n &=20 \end{aligned}$
$n=20$ years
$\therefore$ After 20 years the amount get tripled.
