The difference between the simple interest received from two different sources on Rs. 1500 for 3 years is Rs. 13.50. The difference between their rates of interest is?

  • A.0.1%
  • B.0.2%
  • C.0.3%
  • D.0.4%

Answer: C

\[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]

The sum and the period are common, so only the gap in rates produces the difference.

\[ \frac{1500 \times \Delta R \times 3}{100} = 13.50 \]

\[ 45\,\Delta R = 13.50 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \Delta R = 0.3\% \]

Neither rate needs to be known individually - only their difference enters the calculation.
