A certain sum of money amounts to 5/4 of itself in 5 years. Find the rate percent per annum.

A. 9%

B. 7%

C. 12%

D. 5%

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Let the principal be x, Amount in 5 yrs = 5/4 * x = 5x/4
Therefore, SI = (Amount – Principal) = 5x/4 - x = x/4
SI = PRT/100
x/4 = x * R * 5 / 100
R = 5%
