Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Derivation of Simple Interest Time** Given: - Simple Interest (SI\displaystyle SI) = 0.125P\displaystyle 0.125 P - Rate of Interest (R\displaystyle R) = 10%\displaystyle 10\% per annum **Step 1: Set up 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=0.10t0.125 = 0.10 t **Step 2: Solve for t\displaystyle t** t=0.1250.10=1.25 yearst = \frac{0.125}{0.10} = 1.25 \text{ years} Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
