Answer : [B]
Explanation :
S.I. on Rs. 750 = T.D. on Rs. 960.
This means P.W. of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs. 750.
 
  T.D. = Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210.  
Thus, S.I. on R.s 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210.
 
  Rate =  
100 x 210
750 x 2
  % = 14%

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Sum due = P.W. + T.D. = P.W. + S.I. on P.W.
Now, sum due = (Rs. 1200 + S.I. on Rs. 1200 for 7 months)
Also, sum due =   Rs. 1016 + S.I. on Rs. 1016 for
5
2
 years    
 
    Rs. 1200 + S.I. on Rs.
  1200 x
7
12
 
  for 1 year    
=     Rs. 1016 + S.I. on Rs.
  1016 x
5
2
 
  for 1 year    
 
  (Rs. 1200 + S.I. on Rs. 700 for 1 year) = {Rs. 1016 + S.I.on Rs. 2540 for 1 year}  
 
  S.I. on Rs.(2540 – 700) for 1 year = Rs. (1200 – 1016)  
 
  S.I. on Rs. 1840 for 1 year = Rs. 184  
 
  Rate =
100 x 184
1840 x 1
 = 10%      
Also, sum due = Rs. 1200 + (S.I. on Rs. 1200 for 7 months ar 10%)
  = Rs.   1200 +
  1200 x
