Answer:
So, Rate = 6.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Principal value = P
⇒ Amount = 2P
Also, Simple Interest = Amount - Principal
Now, Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
⇒ Amount - Principal = Principal × Rate × Time
⇒ 2P - P = P × Rate × 16
⇒ P = P × Rate × 16
⇒ Rate = 1/16 = 0.0625
So, Rate = 0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%
