Correct Answer: 8.33 percent
Solution : Rate of interest = $r$ Time = $r$ Let the sum value be $x$, then Simple Interest will be: Simple Interest = $\frac{(x \times r \times r)}{100}$ ⇒ $(\frac{25}{36})x = \frac{(x \times R^2)}{100}$ ⇒ $(\frac{25}{36}) = \frac{(r^2)}{100}$ ⇒ $r^2 = (\frac{25 \times 100}{36})$ ⇒ $r^2 = (\frac{25 \times 100}{36})$ ⇒ $r^2 = \frac{50}{6}$ ⇒ $r = 8.33$% So, the annual rate of interest is 8.33%. Hence, the correct answer is 8.33 percent.
