Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 14.6%

Given:

Principle = 10,000 Rs.

Amount = 15,840 Rs.

Formula used:

Amount = Simple Interest + Principal

SI = (P x R x T)/100,

where P = Principal,

R = Rate of Interest,

T = Time Period of the Loan/deposit in years,

SI = Simple Interest

Calculations:

⇒ SI = 15,840 - 10,000

⇒ SI = 5840

⇒ 5840 = (1000 × 4 × r)/100

⇒ r = 14.6%

∴ The rate of interest is 14.6%.
