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%.
