Options:

B)

2.45%

C)

2.22%

D)

6 23   %

Solution:

Ans: (c)

Principal = Rs.9

Instalment = Rs.1

Rs.9 + Interest on Rs.9 for 10 months = (Rs.1 + Interest on Rs.1 for 9 months + Rs.1 + .....)

Rs.9 + Interest on Rs.9 for 10 months = Rs.10 + Interest on (9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + ..... + 1)

Interest on Rs.9 for 10 months = Rs.1 + Interest on 45 months

Rate of Interest = 100/45 = 2.22%
