let x be the correct answer and y be the wrong answer
so the total number of questions is (x + y) = 150.....(1)
=> 4x - 2y = 420.....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
=> 6x = 720
hence x = 120
Therefore, number of correct answers are 120.

Let the two different rates of interests be r1 and r2 respectively.

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 2600 x 4 x r1 - r2100 = 402.80 \\ r1 - r2 = 402.80104 = 3.87 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the difference in the interest rates = 3.87
