Question : The rate of interest per annum at which the total simple interest of a certain capital for 1 year is equal to the total simple interest of the same capital at the rate of 5% per annum for 2 years, is:
Option 1: $\frac{5}{2}$%
Option 2: $10$%
Option 3: $25$%
Option 4: $12.5$%
Correct Answer: $10$%
Solution : Given: R = R% in the first case and 5% in the second case. T = 1 year for the first case and 2 years for the second case. Let P be the capital, which is equal in both cases. We know that, Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principle×Rate×Time}}{100}$ When simple interest is the same, then, $\frac{\text{P×R×1}}{100}$ = $\frac{\text{P×5×2}}{100}$ $\therefore$ R = 10% Hence, the correct answer is $10$%.
