Simple Interest Calculation Steps
To find the simple interest, we need the Principal (P), Rate (R), and Time (T).
- Principal (P): ₹4,000
- Rate (R): 7.5% per annum = $\frac{7.5}{100}$
Determine the Time Period (T)
The deposit was made on 4 February 2024 and withdrawn on 5 April 2024. We need to calculate the number of days.
- Days remaining in February 2024 (Leap Year): 29 - 4 = 25 days
- Days in March 2024: 31 days
- Days in April 2024: 5 days
- Total days: 25 + 31 + 5 = 61 days
Convert the total days into years. Since 2024 is a leap year, there are 366 days in the year.
Time (T) = $\frac{61}{366}$ years
Calculate Simple Interest (SI)
Use the formula for Simple Interest:
$ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} $
Substitute the values:
$ SI = \frac{4000 \times 7.5 \times \left(\frac{61}{366}\right)}{100} $
Simplify the calculation:
$ SI = \frac{4000 \times 7.5 \times 61}{100 \times 366} $
$ SI = \frac{30000 \times 61}{36600} $
$ SI = \frac{300 \times 61}{366} $
$ SI = \frac{18300}{366} $
$ SI = 50 $
The simple interest earned is ₹50.
