Solution
20%
Explanation:
Here,
BD = Banker's discount and TD = True discount.
∴ According to question,
BD for `(3/2)`years = 600
∴ BD for 3 years = 1200
Now, BD = 1200, TD = 750 and Time = 3 years
∴ Sum`=((1200xx750)/450)=2000`
∴ ₹ 1200 is S.I. on ₹ 2000 for 3 years
So, rate`=((100xx1200)/(2000xx3))%=20%`
