Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The formula to calculate the interest rate on an installment loan is:
Interest Rate = (Installment Amount x Total Number of Installments - Loan Amount) / (Loan Amount x Total Number of Installments) x 100%
Plugging in the given values:
Interest Rate = (1917 x 10 - 10000) / (10000 x 10) x 100%
Interest Rate = 14%
Therefore, the answer is (C) 14%.
