Correct Answer: 13


Solution : Given:
Principal = Rs. 9500
Time = 10 years
Formula Used:
SI=$\frac{\text{PRT}}{100}$
Calculation:
Let the rate of Interest be R.
SI = $\frac{9500 \times 10 \times R}{100}$
Now we know the interest received is 130% of 9500 = $\frac{130 \times 9500}{100}$
$\therefore \frac{9500 \times 10 \times R}{100} = \frac{130 \times 9500}{100}$
R = 13%
Hence, the correct answer is 13%.
