The interest rate is 10 paise per rupee per month.

⇒ Total interest rate on Rs. 50 per month = 50 × 10 = 500 paise = Rs. 5 (? Re. 1 = 100 paise)

⇒ Simple interest on Rs. 50 for 6 months = 5 × 6 = Rs. 30

∴ Simple interest on Rs. 50 for 6 months at the rate of 10 paise per rupee per month = Rs. 30
