At what rate of simple interest a certain sum will be doubled in 15 years

Concept:

\({\rm{S}}.{\rm{I}} = \frac{{{\rm{P}} \times {\rm{R}} \times {\rm{T}}}}{{100}}\)

A = P + S.I

Calculation:

Given:

A = 2P

T = 15 years

∴ S.I = A – P = 2P – P = P

∵ \({\rm{S}}.{\rm{I}} = \frac{{{\rm{P}} \times {\rm{R}} \times {\rm{T}}}}{{100}}\)

⇒ \(P = \frac{{P \times R \times 15}}{{100}}\)

\( \Rightarrow R = \frac{{100}}{{15}} = \frac{{20}}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3}\)

\(\therefore R = 6\frac{2}{3}\;\% \;p.a\)
