    B 4% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4.8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested = Rs. P Then, total amount returned = Y × {1 +(10/100)}2 = 6292 Or Y × 1.21 = 5808 So, Y = 6292 ÷ 1.21 = 5200 The sum invested at simple interest = 52500 × 1.20= Rs. 6240 Simple interest received = 6240 × 9 × n ÷ 100=2700 56160n=270000 n=270000/56160 =4.8%
