Answer : 4. "12% p.a."
Explanation :
Answer: D) 12% p.a. Explanation: If the interest earned is 25% more than the earlier interest then the rate of interest also should be 25% higher than the earlier rate. Let the earlier rate of interest be x%. Now it will be (x + 3)% % increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25=> x = 12%
