Correct Answer: $6\frac{2}{3}$%
Solution : Let the principal be Rs. $P$. As the amount doubles itself, the interest is Rs. $P$. Rate = $r$ So, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $P =\frac{P×r×15}{100}$ ⇒ $r =\frac{100}{15}=6\frac{2}{3}$%. Hence, the correct answer is $6\frac{2}{3}$%.
