Correct Answer: 4 years
Solution : We have, Interest produced at INR 8,000 in 4 years at 5%. Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ $SI = \frac{8000×5×4}{100} = 1600$ The same interest is produced at INR 10,000 at 4% per annum in $T$ years. $1600 = \frac{10000×4×T}{100}$ ⇒ $T = \frac{1600×100}{10000 \times4} = 4$ years Hence, the correct answer is 4 years.
