C18%

D20%

Answer:

A. 16%

Read Explanation:

Solution:

Given:

Difference of C.I. and S.I. = Rs. 384

Time = 2 years

Principal = Rs. 15,000

Formula used:

Difference of C.I. and S.I. in 2 years = (r2/10000) × Principal

Calculation:

Difference of C.I. and S.I. in 2 years = (r2/10000) × Principal

⇒ 384 = (r2/10000) × 15,000

⇒ 3840 = 15 r2 

⇒ r2 = 3840/15 = 256 

⇒ r = 16 % 

∴ The rate of interest per annum is 16 %
