    4. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
    5. Combining statement I and statement II
Correct Option: E

From statement I , Borrowed amount for four years ( P ) = $ 8000
From statement II , Returned amount ( A ) = $ 8800 , Time = 2 years
From statement I and II , we get
Compound Interest ( C.I. ) = A - P = 8800 - 8000 = $ 800
According to question,
Combining both the statements together,

Rate of interest =
800
x 100 = 5 %
2 x 8000
