Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Given, $ \frac{Principal}{Amount}=\frac{10}{12} $ $ \frac{Amount}{Principal}=\frac{Principal+SI}{Principal}=\frac{12}{10}-1=\frac{2}{10} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 1+\frac{SI}{Principal}=\frac{12}{10} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{SI}{Principal}=\frac{12}{10}-1=\frac{2}{10} $ $ Rate=\frac{SI\times 100}{P\times T} $

$ \therefore $ $ Rate=\frac{1}{5}\times 100=20 $ %
