    A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ: {6000 (1 + R/100)2}/{7000(1 + 20/100)2} = 56/75 => 6/7 × {(1 + R/100)2/{(1 + 1/5)2} = 56/75 => 6/7 × 25/36 × (1 + R/100)2 = 56/75 => (1 + R/100)2 = 56/75 × 36/25 × 7/6  => (1 + R/100)2 = 784/625 => 1 + r/100 = 28/25 => 1 + r/100 = 1 + 3/25 => r/100 = 3/25 => r = 12%
