Correct Answer: 6.66%
Solution : Given: Simple interest = $\frac{4}{9}$ of Principal Let rate = time = $x$ $\frac{\text{Simple interest}}{\text{Principal}}=\frac{4}{9}$ Now, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{Simple interest}}{\text{Principal}} = \frac{x × x}{100}$ ⇒ $x^2=\frac{400}{9}$ ⇒ $x=\frac{20}{3}=6.66$$ Hence, the correct answer is 6.66%.
