Answer
View full question & answer→Principal (P) = Rs. 1200, Rate of interest (R) = 18% p.a., Time (T) = 4 month
$\text{T}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\ \text{year}$ $\Big(\because 1\text{ month} =\frac{1}{12}\ \text{year}\Big)$
Simple interest $=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{1200\ \times\ 18\ \times\ \frac{1}{3}}{100}$
$=\frac{1200\ \times\ 18\ \times\ 1}{100\ \times\ 3}$
$=\text{Rs. }720$
$\text{T}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\ \text{year}$ $\Big(\because 1\text{ month} =\frac{1}{12}\ \text{year}\Big)$
Simple interest $=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{1200\ \times\ 18\ \times\ \frac{1}{3}}{100}$
$=\frac{1200\ \times\ 18\ \times\ 1}{100\ \times\ 3}$
$=\text{Rs. }720$
