Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Using simple interest = \(\frac{P \times T \times R}{100}\),

where: P denoted principal = N400
T denotes time = 3 years
R denotes interest rate = ?

24 = \(\frac{400 \times 3 \times R}{100}\)

24 x 100 = 400 x 3 x R

R = \(\frac{24 \times 100}{400 \times3}\)

= 2%

There is an explanation video available below.
