MCQ
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
The simple interest on a sum for $5$ years is $\frac{3}{3}$ of the sum. The rate percent per annum is:
  • A
    $8\%$
  • B
    $10\%$
  • $12\%$
  • D
    $12\frac12\%$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$12\%$
Let the sum be $Rs. x$
Let the rate be $R \%$ per annum
$\text{S.I.}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{\text{x}\times\text{R}\times5}{100}$
$=\frac{\text{Rx}}{20}$
$\therefore\frac{3\text{x}}{5}=\frac{\text{Rx}}{20}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{3\text{x}\times20}{5\text{x}}=12\%$
