    B 12% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Interest received from scheme ‘A’ = 5000 × 16 × 2 ÷ 100 = Rs. 1600 Let the rate of simple interest offered by scheme ‘B’ = ‘k%’ p.a. ATQ; 8000 × 2 × k ÷ 100 = 1600 Or, 160k = 1600 Or, k = (1600/160) = 10 So, rate of simple interest offered by scheme ‘B’ = 10% per annum.
