At what rate Percent of simple interest per annum will a sum of money double in 8 years?

Given :

A sum of money doubles itself in 8 years.

To do :

We have to find the rate of interest.

Solution :

Let the Principal be $P$ and rate percent be $R$.

This implies,

Amount $A=2P$

We know that,

$Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)$

$Simple Interest (SI) = Amount (A) - Principal (P)$

$SI=2P-P$

$SI=P$                                  

$SI = \frac{PRT}{100}$

Therefore,

$P = \frac{(P \times R \times 8)}{100}$

$100 = R \times 8$

$R = \frac{100}{8}$

$R = 12.5$

The rate percent is 12.5%. 

  1. 20%
  2. 17%
  3. 22%
  4. 15%

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 20%

Formula for Simple Interest -

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

Where,

P = Principal

R = Rate of interest

T = Time period

Let the required rate of interest be X.

According to the question, SI must be equal to 2 × P in order to make the final sum two times the original principal amount after 5 year.

\(\therefore {\rm{P}} = {\rm{}}\frac{{{\rm{P}} \times {\rm{X}} \times 5}}{{100}}\)

⇒ X = 20%

∴ Required rate of interest is of 20%.
