Correct Answer: 5% per annum


Solution : Given,
Amount = Rs. 16675, Principal = Rs. 14500, time = 36 months = 3 years
Let the rate be $r$.
Simple interest = Amount – Principal = Rs. 16675 - Rs. 14500
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $2175=\frac{14500\times r\times3}{100}$
⇒ $r=\frac{2175}{145\times3}$
⇒ $r = 5$%
Hence, the correct answer is 5% per annum.
