To use the Banker's Rule to find the interest rate, we first need to calculate the annual interest rate.

The formula for the Banker's Rule is:

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Substituting the given values:

2 = 990 * Rate * (21/365)

Simplifying:

2 = 990 * Rate * 0.0575

Now, isolate the rate:

Rate = 2 / (990 * 0.0575)

Rate ≈ 0.0365

So, the interest rate using Banker's Rule is approximately 0.0365 or 3.65%.
