Solution

The correct option is A 20 yearsLet the principal be P. As per the question, Amount = 2(Principal) = 2P SI = Amount - Principal = 2P - P = P By formula, R=SI×100P×T R=P×100P×10 =10 % So, the rate is 10% per annum. Now, the sum gets tripled. A = 3(Principal) = 3P SI = 3P - P = 2P T=SI×100P×R T=2P×100P×10 = 20 years

Given:

The Sum of money doubles itself in 25 years.

Concept:

Simple interest is the interest calculated on the principal portion of the loan or the original contribution to the saving account.

Formula Used:

Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100

S.I = Amount - Sum

Calculation:

Let the sum be 'P' then Amount after 25 years = 2P

S.I = 2P - P = P

P = (P × R × 25)/100

⇒ R = 100/25 = 4%

∴ The rate of interest per annum is 4%.
