Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : Principal, $P$ = INR 12000
Term, $n$ = 12 years
Simple interest, SI = 120% × $P$ = $\frac{120P}{100}$
Let $R$ be the rate of interest.
SI = $\frac{PnR}{100}$
⇒ $\frac{120P}{100}$ = $\frac{P×12×R}{100}$
⇒ $R$ = $\frac{120}{12}$ = 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
