    B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 21% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Interest received from scheme ‘A’ = 7000 × 15 × 2 ÷ 100 = Rs. 2100 Let the rate of simple interest offered by scheme ‘B’ = ‘k%’ p.a. ATQ; 5000 × 2 × k ÷ 100 = 2100 Or, 100k = 2100 Or, k = (2100/100) = 21 So, rate of simple interest offered by scheme ‘B’ = 21% per annum.
