    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    [15000\(*(1+\frac { R } { 100 } )^2-15000]\)-[\([\frac { 15000*R*2 } { 100 } ]=96\)

     

      15000[\(*(1+\frac { R } { 100 } )^2-1\)-\(\frac { 2R } { 100 } ] \)=96

     

     15000[\([\frac { (100+R^2)-10000-(200*R) } {10000 } ]=96\)

     

     R2 =\( [\frac { 96*2 } { 3 }]\)=64

     

      R = 8.

     

     Rate = 8%.
