Option 2: 25 percent

Solution : Given that, a sum becomes 1.96 times itself in 2 years.
Let the principal be $P$.
We know, $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$
$⇒1.96P = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2$
$⇒1.96 = \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2$
$⇒\sqrt{1.96} = 1 + \frac{r}{100}$
$⇒\frac{r}{100} = 1.4 - 1$
