  1. The difference between the interest received from two different bank on Rs. 500 for 2 year is Rs. 2.50. The difference between their rates is ?
    1. 1%
    2. 0.5%
    3. 2.5%
    4. 0.25%
Correct Option: D

Let the rates be R1% and R2%.
Then, (500 x R1 x 2)/ 100 - (500 x R2 x 2)/ 100 = 2.5
⇒ 10(R1 - R2) = 2.5
∴ Req difference = R1 - R2 = 0.25%
