Correct Answer: 8,000
Solution : Money deposited, $P$ = INR 10,000 Initial rate of interest = 8% The rate of interest increases by 4% every year. Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ For 5 years, simple interest = $\frac{P(r_1+r_2+r_3+r_4+r_5)}{100}$ (where $r_1,r_2,r_3,r_4,$ and $r_5$ are rate of interests for 5 years.) = $\frac{10000(8+12+16+20+24)}{100}$ = $8000$ Hence, the correct answer is 8000.
