    maximum interest rate = 3%

    so correct option is A) 3%

    Explanation:

    given data

    investment = $6000

    receive = $6180

    borrow = $6000

    to find out

    maximum interest rate bank needs to offer on the loan

    solution

    we consider here maximum interest rate bank needs to offer is = r

    so value of investment will be express here as

    value of investment = amount to be borrowed * (1 + r) ... 1

    put here value we get rate r

    6180 = 6000 * (1 + r)

    solve it we get

    rate = 0.03

    maximum interest rate = 3%

    so correct option is A) 3%
