Solution :
Given: On a sum of money for 2 years compound interest and simple interest are INR 550 and INR 500.
From the given information we can conclude that,
The interest of INR $\frac{500}{2}$ i.e., INR 250 in 1 year is INR (550 – 500) = INR 50.
So, the rate of interest per annum = $\frac{\text{100×Interest}}{\text{P×T}}$ = $\frac{100×50}{250×1}$ = 20%
Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
