If a sum of money doubles itself in 8 yrs, then the interest rate in percentage is ?
Let the sum = $$Rs.$$ $$x$$ and rate of interest = $$r\%$$
=> Amount after 8 years =Â $$Rs.$$ $$2x$$
=> Simple interest = $$(2x-x)=Rs.$$ $$x$$
Also, SI =Â $$\frac{P \times r \times t}{100}$$
=> $$\frac{x \times r \times 8}{100}=x$$
=> $$r=\frac{100}{8}=12\frac{1}{2}\%$$
=> Ans - (D)
