Answer :

To determine how many paise per rupee per year Rs 510 will amount to Rs 595 in 8 months using simple interest, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the given values:
- Principal ([tex]\(P\)[/tex]): Rs 510
- Amount ([tex]\(A\)[/tex]): Rs 595
- Time ([tex]\(T\)[/tex]): 8 months

2. Calculate the interest accrued ([tex]\(I\)[/tex]):
[tex]\[ I = A - P = 595 - 510 = 85 \text{ Rs} \][/tex]

3. Convert the time from months to years:
[tex]\[ T = \frac{8 \text{ months}}{12 \text{ months/year}} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ years} \][/tex]

4. Use the formula for simple interest to calculate the rate of interest ([tex]\(R\)[/tex]) in percentage per annum:
[tex]\[ I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \][/tex]
Substituting the known values:
[tex]\[ 85 = \frac{510 \times R \times \frac{2}{3}}{100} \][/tex]
Rearrange to solve for [tex]\(R\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 85 = \frac{510 \times R \times 2}{300} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 85 = \frac{1020R}{300} \][/tex]
Multiply both sides by 300:
[tex]\[ 85 \times 300 = 1020R \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 25500 = 1020R \][/tex]
Divide both sides by 1020:
[tex]\[ R = \frac{25500}{1020} = 25 \% \text{ per annum} \][/tex]

5. Convert the rate of interest from percentage per annum to paise per rupee per annum:
Since 1% per annum equals 100 paise per annum:
[tex]\[ 25 \% \text{ per annum} = 25 \times 100 = 2500 \text{ paise per rupee per annum} \][/tex]

6. Check against the given options to find the closest option for paise per rupee per year:
The closest option is:
d) 36 paise (closest to the computed rate of 2500 paise per rupee per annum).

So, the rate of interest in paise per rupee per year will be closest to the option:
d) 36 paise.
