✓Answer
Given: In 10 years, interest = \frac{2}{5} of the amount.
Let principal = P, rate = r% p.a., interest in 10 years = I.
Relation with amount:
I = \frac{2}{5}(P + I)
⇒ 5I = 2P + 2I
⇒ 3I = 2P
⇒ I = \frac{2}{3}P
Simple interest formula for 10 years:
I = P × r × 10 / 100
So, P × r × 10 / 100 = \frac{2}{3}P
⇒ r × 10 / 100 = \frac{2}{3}
⇒ r = \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{100}{10}=\frac{20}{3}
