    B)  10  

    C)  11                   

    D)  13

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    P = Rs. 3000, A = Rs. 3993 and n = 3 yr \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}=\frac{A}{P}\] \[{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{3993}{3000}=\frac{1331}{1000}\] \[{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1+\frac{r}{100}=\frac{11}{10}\Rightarrow \frac{r}{100}=\frac{11}{10}-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\,\frac{r}{100}=\frac{1}{10}\Rightarrow r=\frac{100}{10}\] \[\therefore \]      \[r=10%\]
