Option 1: 30 percent
Option 2: 24 percent
Option 3: 16 percent
Option 4: 20 percent
Correct Answer: 20 percent
Solution : Given, Principal ($P$) = Rs. 3000 Compound Interest ($CI$) = Rs. 1320 Time (t) = 2 years We know, $CI = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^t - P$ ⇒ $1320 = 3000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2 - 3000$ ⇒ $1320+3000 = 3000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$ ⇒ $\frac{4320}{3000}=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$ ⇒ $\sqrt{1.44}=(1+\frac{r}{100})$ ⇒ $1.2 = (1+\frac{r}{100})$
