Solution : A sum of Rs. 11,500 amounts to Rs. 12,880 in 2 years at the rate of simple interest. Simple interest = 12880 – 11500 = 1380 Also, Simple interest $=\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $1380 = \frac{11500×\text{Rate}×2}{100}$ ⇒ Rate $= \frac{1380}{230}$ $\therefore$ Rate $=6$% Hence, the correct answer is 6% per annum.
