Profit before tax of the company is Rs. 2,00,000 if the interest period is 5, what will be the amount of interest?

Rs. 20,000
Rs. 33,333
Rs. 40,000
Rs. 50,000

The correct answer is B. Rs. 33,333.

The formula for calculating simple interest is:

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

In this case, the principal is Rs. 2,00,000, the rate is 5%, and the time is 5 years. So, the interest is:

Interest = 2,00,000 x 5% x 5 = Rs. 33,333

Option A is incorrect because it is the amount of interest for a period of 1 year. Option C is incorrect because it is the amount of interest for a period of 2 years. Option D is incorrect because it is the amount of interest for a period of 3 years.
