Answer (B)
NOTE — marked answer 17.5% appears incorrect. 10648/8000 = 1.331 = (1.1)^3, so the half-yearly rate is 10% over 3 half-years (18 months), giving an annual rate of 20% (option C), not 17.5%.

Read the following short story and answer the question that follows : There were once two brothers who lived on the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother and ate up all the food and took all his good clothes. One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around chopping the branches of a tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree. The tree said to him, 'Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give you my golden apples'. The elder brother agreed but was disappointed with the number of apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk if the tree didn't give him more apples. The magical tree instead showered upon the elder brother hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles. The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon. The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found him with hundreds of needles on his skin. He rushed to his brother and removed each needle with painstaking love. After he finished, the elder brother apologized for treating him badly and promised to be better. The tree saw the change in the elder brother's heart and gave them all the golden apples they could ever need. Q. The above story teaches you to be :
1. Agreat and ambitious
2. Bdisciplined
3. Ccovetous
4. Dkind and gracious
Answer (D)
The younger brother lovingly removes every needle and the elder repents, so the tree rewards them - the moral celebrates kindness and graciousness over cruelty and greed.
