    Question



    If a sum of money becomes at a particular rate of simple interest, then the annual rate of interest is:

    A.

    5%

    B.

    7.5%

    C.

    10%

    D.

    2%

    Correct option is C


    The sum of money increased from 1 to 41/40.
    Increase = (41/40) - 1 = 1/40
    Since the increase happened in 1/4 year (or one quarter), the quarterly interest rate is also 1/40.
    According to question-
    Annual interest rate = (1/40) x 4 x 100 = 10%
