    A 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    C.I - S.I = P (R/100) 2
    Rs. 315 = 14000 * R 2 /10000
    R 2  = 3150000/14000
    R 2  = 225
    R = 15%
