(সাধারণ সুদের সাথে একটি পরিমাণ 10 বছরে নিজেকে দ্বিগুণ করে। P.c.p.a. এর সুদের হার কত?)

A 10

B 15

C 25

D Cannot be determined

E None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

Let the amount be y.

& Rate of interest be R.

The amount becomes 2y in 10 years. Hence, Simple interest = Amount – Principal = 2y – y = y

 We know the Simple interest = PRT/100

Where, P= Principal amount, R = Rate of interest, T = Number of years.

Hence, y = (y×R×10)/100

Or, 10R = 100

Or, R = 10

Hence, the rate of interest = 10% per year.
