Correct Answer: 21 years


Solution : Let the sum be $P$.
Total amount for 7 years = $2P$
Simple Interest for 7 years = $2P – P$ = $P$
If total amount = $4P$,
Simple Interest = $4P-P$ = $3P$
Since in 7 years interest is $P$ then $3P$ interest is received in 21 years.
Hence, the correct answer is 21 years.
