Options:

2%

1%

0.75%

0.5%

Correct Answer:

1%

Explanation:

S.I. = \(\frac{P × R × T }{100}\)

⇒ S.I.- S.I.1 = 22, (principal is same)

⇒ \(\frac{P × R_2 × 2 }{100} - \frac{P × R_1 × 2 }{100}\)= 22

⇒ \(\frac{1100}{100}\) × 2 (R2 - R1) = 22

⇒ (R2 - R1) = \(\frac{22 × 100 }{1100 × 2}\)

⇒ (R2 - R1) = 1%
