MCQ
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
The simple interest on a sum for $5$ years is $\frac25$ of the sum. The rate percent per annum is:
  • A
    $10\%$
  • $8\%$
  • C
    $6\%$
  • D
    $12\frac12\%$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$8\%$

Times $= 5$ years
Simple interest $=\frac25\text{P}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{P}\times\text{Rate}\times\text{time}}{100}=\frac{2}{5}\text{P}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Rate}\times5}{100}=\frac25$
$\Rightarrow\text{Rate}=\frac{2\times100}{5\times5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Rate}=8\%$
