Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let, B.D = Re. 1.

Then, B.G. = Re.     3     .
25

T.D. = (B.D. – B.G.) = Re.         1 –     3         = Re.     22     .
25     25

Sum =         1 x (22/25)         = Rs.     22     .
1-(22/25)     3

S.I. on Rs.     22     for 1     1     years is Re. 1.
3     2

Rate =         100 x 1     %
=     100     = 9     1     %.

22     x     3
