Correct Answer: $10$
Solution :
Principal = Rs. 3000, Amount = Rs. 3993, Time = 3 years and Rate of interest = $x$%
Now, applying the formula of compound interest,
Amount = $p(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$
⇒ $3000(1+\frac{x}{100})^3=3993$
⇒ $(1+\frac{x}{100})^3=\frac{3993}{3000}$
⇒ $(1+\frac{x}{100})^3=\frac{1331}{1000}$
⇒ $(1+\frac{x}{100})^3=(\frac{11}{10})^3$
⇒ $1+\frac{x}{100}=\frac{11}{10}$
⇒ $\frac{x}{100}=\frac{11}{10}–1$
⇒ $x=\frac{1}{10}×100$
⇒ $x=10$
Hence, the correct answer is $10$.
