Correct Answer : D.


Let the rate be R% p.a. then,


[ 18000 ( 1 + ( R / 100 )2 ) - 18000 ] - ((18000 * R * 2) / 100 ) = 405


18000 [ ( 100 + (R / 100 )2 / 10000) - 1 - (2R / 100 ) ] = 405


18000[( (100 + R ) 2 - 10000 - 200R) / 10000 ] = 405


9R2 / 5 = 405 , R2 =((405 * 5 ) / 9) = 225


R = 15.


Rate = 15%.
