​ On certain amount simple interest is 16/25th part of the amount taken then the time and rate of interest is ……………….. (Numerically same)  ​

Correct option is (A) 8 Let the amount taken be Rs P. \(\therefore\) S.I. = \(\frac{16}{25}\times\) P = \(\frac{16P}{25}\) R = T \(\therefore\) S.I. = \(\frac{PRT}{100}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{16P}{25}\) = \(\frac{P\times R\times R}{100}\)  \((\because\)  R = T) \(\Rightarrow\) \(R^2=\) \(\frac{16P}{25}\times\frac{100}P\) \(=16\times4=64=8^2\) \(\Rightarrow\) R = 8 \(\Rightarrow\) T = R = 8
