Question : The Simple Interest on a sum of money is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the principal, and the number of years is equal to the rate percent per annum. The rate percent is:
Option 1: 2.5%
Option 2: 5%
Option 3: 7.5%
Option 4: 10%
Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Let the rate and time be $x$. Given: SI = $\frac{1}{4}P$ By using the formula of Simple Interest: SI = $\frac{\text{P×R×T}}{100}$ where $P$ is principal, $T$ is time in years and $R$ is the rate of interest per annum. $\frac{1}{4}P$ = $\frac{P×x×x}{100}$ ⇒ $x^2$ = $\frac{100}{4}$ ⇒ $x^2$ = 25 ⇒ $x$ = 5 Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
