A sum of money doubles itself in 10 years at simple interest. The rate of interest is1. 10%2. 13%3. 18%4. 15%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10%

Given:

A sum of money gets doubled in 10 years at simple interest(SI)

Formula used:

SI = \(\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}\)

Amount = P + SI

P = Principal

R = Rate of interest

T = Time

Calculation:

According to the question:

Amount after 10 years = 2P

Hence, the SI in 10 years = P

⇒ P = \(\dfrac{P \times R \times 10}{100}\)

⇒ R = 10

∴ Rate of interest = 10%
