Solution

Correct Option: 3

Given Information:

Initial Investment = ₹ 2,50,000

Final Value = ₹ 3,00,000


The gain from the investment:

Gain = Final Value - Initial Investment

Gain = ₹ 3,00,000 - ₹ 2,50,000

Gain = ₹ 50,000


The rate of return is calculated as:

Rate of Return = GainInitial Investment×100\dfrac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Initial Investment}} \times 100

Rate of Return = 50,0002,50,000×100\dfrac{50,000}{2,50,000} \times 100

Rate of Return = 50250×100\dfrac{50}{250} \times 100

Rate of Return = 15×100\dfrac{1}{5} \times 100

Rate of Return = 20%20\%


Therefore, the nominal rate of return is 20%.
