Correct Answer: 6%
Solution : Given: $P$ = Rs. 1,200, $A$ = Rs. 1,348.32 and $n$ = 2. We know the formula, $A=P\times(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$. Substitute the given values in the above formula, we get, $1348.32=1200\times(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$ ⇒ $(\frac{106}{100})^2=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$ ⇒ $\frac{106}{100}=1+\frac{r}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{106}{100}–1=\frac{r}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{106–100}{100}=\frac{r}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{6}{100}=\frac{r}{100}$ $r = 6$% Hence, the correct answer is 6%.
