Answer: B
If the total amount after 4 years is \(x\) rupees, then:
Interest \((I)=\cfrac{x}{6}\) rupees
\(\therefore\) Principal \((p)=(x-\cfrac{x}{6})\) rupees = \(\cfrac{5x}{6}\) rupees
Time \((t)=4\) years
\(\therefore\) Rate of interest \((r)=\cfrac{100\times I}{pt} \%\)
If the total amount after 4 years is \(x\) rupees, then:
Interest \((I)=\cfrac{x}{6}\) rupees
\(\therefore\) Principal \((p)=(x-\cfrac{x}{6})\) rupees = \(\cfrac{5x}{6}\) rupees
Time \((t)=4\) years
\(\therefore\) Rate of interest \((r)=\cfrac{100\times I}{pt} \%\)
\(=\cfrac{100\times \cfrac{x}{6}}{\cfrac{5x}{6}\times 4} \%\)
\(=\cfrac{100\times x \times 6}{5x\times 4\times 6} \%\)
\(=5 \%\)
