Solution
Simple interest remains same in every year.
=> Simple interest for 1 year = Rs. 80
Difference of C.I. and S.I. for two years = Rs.(170 - 160) = Rs. 10
=> Interest for 1 year on Rs. 80 = Rs. 10
=> $\frac{80 \times r \times 1}{100} = 10$
=> $r = \frac{100}{8}$ = 12.5%
Simple interest remains same in every year.
=> Simple interest for 1 year = Rs. 80
Difference of C.I. and S.I. for two years = Rs.(170 - 160) = Rs. 10
=> Interest for 1 year on Rs. 80 = Rs. 10
=> $\frac{80 \times r \times 1}{100} = 10$
=> $r = \frac{100}{8}$ = 12.5%
