B. 10%
C. $$10\frac{1}{2}$$ %
D. $$12\frac{1}{2}$$ %
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Money is double itself means interest is equal to money.$$\eqalign{ & {\text{P = }}\frac{{{\text{P}} \times {\text{8}} \times {\text{r}}}}{{100}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{r = }}\frac{{100}}{8} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{r = 12}}\frac{1}{2}\% \cr} $$
