Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 50%

Given:

A sum of money becomes 11 times of principal

Time = 20 years

Formula Used:

Simple Interest = Amount - Principal

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

Calculation:

Let the Principal be P

Then Amount after 20 years will be 11P

Simple Interest = 11P - P = 10P

10P = (P × Rate × 20)/100

⇒ Rate = 50%

∴ The Rate of interest per annum is 50%
