Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let principal = 5 units}} \cr
& {\text{Hence interest}} \cr
& {\text{ = 5}} \times \frac{2}{5} \cr
& {\text{ = 2 units}} \cr
& {\text{Time = 10 years}} \cr
& {\text{By using formula, }} \cr
& {\text{Rate% = }}\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{{100}}{{10}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 4% }} \cr} $$
