Correct Answer: 8.33%
Solution : Time = 12 Let $P$ be the principal sum and $R$ be the rate. Amount = $2P$ Simple interest = $2P-P$ = $P$ We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × time × Rate}}{100}$ ⇒ $P=\frac{P×12×R}{100}$ $\therefore R=\frac{100}{12}=\frac{25}{3}= 8.33\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 8.33%.
