Correct Answer: 7%
Solution : Given, Loan amount = Rs 700 Interest amount = Rs 343 We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ According to the question, Time of interest = Rate of interest ⇒ Simple interest = $\frac{700×\text{Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ 343 = 7 × Rate2 ⇒ Rate2 = $\frac{343}{7}$ ⇒ Rate2 = 49 ⇒ Rate = 7% Hence, the correct answer is 7%.
