Correct Answer: 2 : 5
Solution : Principal = P for both cases Rate = R for both cases Time = 8 years for 1st case, 20 years for 2nd case. Now, Simple interest for 1st case : Simple interest for 2nd case = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ : $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ = $\frac{\text{P × R × 8}}{100}$ : $\frac{\text{P × R × 20}}{100}$ = $8 : 20$ = $2 : 5$ Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 5.
