Answer

In the case of Amal Roy :

Principal = ₹ 2000

Interest = ₹ (2360-2000) = ₹ 360

Time = 3 yrs

\text { Rate }=\frac{\text { Interest } × 100}{\text { Principal } × \text { Time }} \\

\text { Rate }=\frac{360 × 100}{2000 × 3}=6

In case of Pasupati Ghosh :

Principal = ₹ 2000

Interest = ₹ (2480-2000)= Rs 480

Time = 3 years

\text { Rate }=\frac{\text { Interest } × 100}{\text { Principal } × \text { Time }} \\

=\frac{480 × 100}{2000 × 3}=8

\therefore Ratio of Rates = 6 : 8 = 3 : 4
