Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Given: Principal = INR 12,000, Total amount = INR 15,000 Time = 5 years So, simple interest = 15000 – 12000 = 3000 We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $3000=\frac{12000\times \text{Rate} \times 5}{100}$ ⇒ Rate $=\frac{3000×100}{12000\times 5}$ ⇒ Rate $=5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
