Correct Answer

✅ Option a — 1.25\displaystyle 1.25 years

All Options:

  • A1.25\displaystyle 1.25 years
  • B2.5\displaystyle 2.5 years
  • C0.25\displaystyle 0.25 years
  • DNone of these

Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Derivation of Time from Simple Interest** Given: - Simple Interest (SI\displaystyle SI) = 0.125P\displaystyle 0.125 P - Rate of Interest (r\displaystyle r) = 10%\displaystyle 10\% per annum **Step 2: Substitute into the Simple Interest formula** SI=P×r×t100SI = \frac{P \times r \times t}{100} 0.125P=P×10×t1000.125 P = \frac{P \times 10 \times t}{100} 0.125=10t1000.125 = \frac{10 t}{100} 0.125=0.1t0.125 = 0.1 t t=0.1250.1=1.25 yearst = \frac{0.125}{0.1} = 1.25 \text{ years} Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
