Explanation :

Answer: A) 5% Explanation: Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2   and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400   Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1   => 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)   And S.I = PTR/100   => 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)   By solving (A) & (B), we get   R = 5%.
