We need to find the Rate,
Given that:
CI-SI for 2 years is 63
i.e
(Pls note "p" means to the power)
P(1+R/100)p2 - P - PR/50 = 63
or
P + PRp2/10000 + PR/50 - P - PR/50 = 63
or
PRxR/10000=63 .... eq 1
Also given
PR=600X50
PR=30000
Using this in eq 1, we get
R30000/10000=63
3R=63
R=21
That is option D.

The difference in interest arises in the 2nd Year only,
Therefore,
assuming x = rate of interest
x/100 [x/100 * P] = 63
x/100*P equals the interest earned in the first year = 600/2 = 300
x/100 [300] = 63
solving, we get 21
Answer is D
