Option 1: 6 years
Option 2: 8 years
Option 3: 5 years
Option 4: 3 years
Correct Answer: 8 years
Solution : Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ Let the sum invested be P. The amount received after 4 years = 3P Interest = Amount – Principal = 3P – P = 2P ⇒ 2P = $\frac{\text{P × Rate × 4}}{100}$ ⇒ Rate =
