Simple Interest

Question:

An investment triples itself in 30 years on simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is:

Options:

6%

$6 \frac{2}{3}$%

$7 \frac{1}{3}$%

10%

Correct Answer:

$6 \frac{2}{3}$%

Explanation:

Given:

The investment triples in 30 years

A = 3P (since the investment triples)

Substituting the values in the formula:

3P = P(1 + rt)

3 = 1 + 30r

r = 0.0667 or $6 \frac{2}{3}$%
