Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 30%

Given:

Actual price = Rs. 1680

Down payment = Rs. 400

Formula used:

Simple Interest = PRT/100

Calculation:

Total amount = Rs. (1400 + 287) = Rs. 1687

Interest paid = Rs. (1687 – 1680)

⇒ Rs. 7

Interest will be applied on = Rs. (1680 – 1400) = Rs. 280

Simple Interest = PRT/100

⇒ 7 = (280 × R × 1)/100

⇒ R = 700/280

⇒ R = 2.5% per month

⇒ R = 2.5 × 12

⇒ R = 30% per annum

Rate of simple interest charged is 30% per annum.
