Correct Answer: 10%
Solution : Given: Principal amount, P = Rs. 3000 Total amount = Rs. 6000 ⇒Interest, SI = Rs. 6000 – Rs. 3000 = Rs. 3000 Let $R$ be the rate of interest and $n$ be the number of years. Here $R$ = $n$ Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $3000$ = $\frac{3000×R×R}{100}$ ⇒ $R^2$ = $100$ ⇒ $R$ = $10\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
