Given:

Principal = Rs.9000

Amount = Rs.10200

Time = 4 years

Formula used:

Simple interest (S.I) = (P × R × T)/100

Amount (A) = (S.I + P)

Where, P = principal; R = rate; T = time

Calculation:

Simple interest (S.I) = (A - P)

⇒ (10200 - 9000) = Rs.1200

Rate = (1200 × 100)/(9000 × 4)

⇒ (10/3) = 3\(1\over3\) %

∴ The correct answer is 3\(1\over3\) %.
