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%`
