12\(\frac { 1 } { 2 }%\)%

13\(\frac { 1 } { 2 }%\)%

15%

16\(\frac { 2 } { 3}%\)%

Answer : Option C

Explanation :

Investment = Rs. [20 x (50 - 5)] = Rs. 900.

Face value = Rs. (50 x 20) = Rs. 1000.

Dividend = Rs \([ \frac {27} { 2 }\).\( * \frac {1000 } { 100 } ]\)=Rs. 135.

Interest obtained =\([ \frac {135} {900}*100]\)%= 15%
