Correct Answer: 3% per annum
Solution : Given: Total amount = Rs. 1,060.90, Principal = Rs. 1,000, Time = 2 years Let the rate be $r$. We know, $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒1060.90 = 1000 \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^2$ $⇒(\frac{100+r}{100})^2=\frac{10609}{10000}$ $⇒(\frac{100+r}{100})^2=(\frac{103}{100})^2$ $⇒\frac{100+r}{100}=\frac{103}{100}$ $⇒100+r=103$ $⇒r = 3\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 3% per annum.
