Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24%

Given:

Amount (A) = Rs. 297.91

Principal (P) = Rs. 156.25

Rate (R) = k%

Time (n) = 3 years

Formula used:

A = P(1 + R/100)n

Where A → amount

P → principal

R → rate 

n → time

Calculations:

A = P(1 + R/100)n

⇒ 297.91 = 156.25(1 + R/100)3

⇒ (1 + R/100)= 297.91/156.25

⇒ (1 + R/100)= (31/25)3

⇒ (1 + R/100) = 31/25

⇒ (R/100) = 6/25

⇒ R = 24%

∴ The value of k is 24%.
