Let the annual rate of interest be \(x\%\) According to the question: \[ \frac{900 \times 4 \times x}{100} = \frac{720 \times 6 \times 5}{100} \] Or, \[ 900 \times 4 \times x = 720 \times 6 \times 5 \Rightarrow x = \frac{720 \times 6 \times 5}{900 \times 4} = 6 \] ∴ The annual rate of interest is 6%
