Correct Answer: 1 : 2
Solution : Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Term × Rate}}{100}$ Simple interest on 1,000 for 2 years at 5% per annum = $\frac{1000 × 2 × 5}{100}$ = INR 100 Simple interest on 1,000 for 2 years at 10% per annum = $\frac{1000 × 2 × 10}{100}$ = INR 200 Required ratio = 100 : 200 = 1 : 2 Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 2.
