Question

At what rate of interest a sum of money doubles itself in 10 years in simple interes?​

Answer 1

Here, we have R = 10% and have to calculate t for the sum of the money (that is P) to double. Hence, it will take 10 years for the sum of money to double itself with the rate of 10% per annum 

Answer 2

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the principal be x

Time = 10 years

Amount after 10 years gets doubled

So amount = 2x

simple interest = amount - principal

simple interest = 2x - x = x

Rate per annum = SI × 100 / P × T

= x × 100 / x × 10

100x/ 10x = 10

So rate per annum = 10%.
