The simple interest on a certain sum is one-fourth of the principal, and the number of years is equal to the rate of interest per annum. What is the rate of interest?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Simple Interest = 1/4 of the Principal
SI=P×R×T100P×R×T100=P4SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \\ \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \frac{P}{4}
Since T = R
PR² / 100 = P/4
R² = 100 / 4
R² = 25
R = 5%
