Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
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 pSo, the data is not sufficient.
