Correct Answer: 8% per annum
Solution : Total interest received in 8 years at 5% per annum will be 40% of the principal. Simple Interest (SI) = $\frac{(\text{Principal amount × Rate× Time})}{100}$. With the same principal and interest but 5 years of time, the rate = $\frac{40}{5}$ = 8% per annum. Hence, the correct answer is 8% per annum.
