Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for simple interest which is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time in years.

We know that: I = Rs. 700 P = Rs. 2500 R = 3.5% = 0.035 (in decimal form)

We need to find T. So, we rearrange the formula to solve for T:

T = I / (P * R)

Substituting the given values:

T = 700 / (2500 * 0.035)

T = 700 / 87.5

T = 8 years

So, the correct option is 8 years.
