A) Rs. 540 B) Rs. 415
C) Rs. 404 D) Data is not sufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Data is not sufficient

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.

Then,

 P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108  2PT= 10800  ...... (1)

 And, 

 P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180   2PR = 18000 ......(2)

Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.
