Correct option is A
Given:
The simple interest received on a sum for 20 years is 2/5 of the sum.
Formula Used:
Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time / 100
Solution:
Let the principal be Rs. 100. Simple Interest = 2/5 × 100 = Rs. 40 Therefore, 40 = 100 × Rate × 20 / 100 => Rate = 2% Alternate Method:
Let the Principal Amount be 5x
2x =(5x * 20 * R)/100
R = 2%
