Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Using \(S.I =\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}\)
\(600 =\frac{3000 \times T \times 8}{100}\)
\(T =\frac{600 \times 100}{3000 \times 8}\)
\(\frac{20}{8}\)
= 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) years
Using \(S.I =\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}\)
\(600 =\frac{3000 \times T \times 8}{100}\)
\(T =\frac{600 \times 100}{3000 \times 8}\)
\(\frac{20}{8}\)
= 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) years
