    From the problem statement it is clear that here we need to find out simple interest rate.

    One do not get interest on any investment made at the end of tenure.

    Putting this mathematically:

    Let amount at the end of 5th year as A

    Simple Interest for 5 years, SI = 750 * 5

    SI = 3750

    Hence A = 10000 + 3750

    A = 13750

    Let rate of return = R

    Tenure t = 5

    But,

    A = P (1 + R*t/100)

    13750 = 10000 (1 + R*5/100)

    13750 = 10000 + 50000R/100

    3750 = 500R

    R = 3750/500

    R = 7.5 %

    Hence rate of return is 7.5% per annum (answer)
