Correct Answer: 4%


Solution : Given: Principal = INR 7,400
Time = 36 months = 3 years
Simple interest after 3 years = INR 888
Let the rate of interest be $r$%.
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $888=\frac{7400\times r\times 3}{100}$
$\therefore r=4$%
Hence, the correct answer is 4%.
