Given, 

Principal = Rs.4000 

C.I = Rs.410 

Time = 2 years 

Let rate of interest = R % 

So,

= compound interest \(={P}[({1}+\frac{R}{100})^T-1]\)

\(=4000[({1}+\frac{R}{100})^2-1]\) = 410

\(4000({1}+\frac{R}{100})^2-4000\) = 410

\(=4000({1}+\frac{R}{100})^2\) = 4000 + 410 = 4410

\(=({1}+\frac{R}{100})^2\) \(=\frac{4410}{4000}\) \(=\frac{441}{400}\) \(=(\frac{21}{20})^2\)

\(={1}+\frac{R}{100}\) \(=\frac{21}{20}\)

\(=\frac{R}{100}\) \(=\frac{21}{20}-1\) \(=\frac{1}{20}\)

= R =\(\frac{1\times100}{20}\) = 5%

Hence, 

Rate of interest = 5% per annum
