Correct Answer: $5$%


Solution : Given:
A sum of money invested at compound interest amounts to Rs. 800 in 3 years and to Rs. 840 in 4 years.
So, Simple interest for 1 year = 840 − 800 = Rs.40
Simple interest =$\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
Rate = $\frac{40×100}{800×1}=5$%
Hence, the correct answer is $5$%.
