Solution

To find the rate of interest, we can use the formula for simple interest which is:

I = PRT/100

where: I = Interest P = Principal R = Rate T = Time

In this case, we know the Interest (I) is Rs. 168, the Principal (P) is Rs. 1050, and the Time (T) is 2 years. We want to find the Rate (R).

Rearranging the formula to solve for R gives us:

R = I * 100 / (P * T)

Substituting the given values into the formula gives us:

R = 168 * 100 / (1050 * 2)

Calculating the above expression gives us:

R = 8

Therefore, the rate of interest is 8%.
