Let the original rate be R%. Then, new rate = (2R)%. Note:
Here, original rate is for 1 year(s); the new rate is for only 4 months i.e. year(s). 725 x R x 1 + 362.50 x 2R x 1 = 33.50 100 100 x 3 (2175 + 725) R = 33.50 x 100 x 3 (2175 + 725) R = 10050 (2900)R = 10050 R = 10050 = 3.46 2900 Original rate = 3.46%
