Question
If a sum of money double itself in 8 years, then the interest rate in percentage is ?
Answer: Option D
Money is double itself means interest is equal to money.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{P = }}\frac{{{\text{P}} \times {\text{8}} \times {\text{r}}}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{r = }}\frac{{100}}{8} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{r = 12}}\frac{1}{2}\% \cr} $$
