  • Options
  • A. 3.5%
  • B. 4%
  • C. 5%
  • D. 6.5%

  • Correct Answer
  • 5% 

    Explanation

    Let 'R%' be the rate of interest

    From the given data,

    2520 2400   =   1   +   R 100 4 1   +   R 100 3 ? 1   +   R 100   =   63 60 ? R   =   5

     

    Hence, the rate of interest R = 5% per annum.
