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%.
