Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Simple Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Where: Principal = N25,000, Rate = 2% or 0.02 and Time = 5 years

Plugging in the values:

Simple Interest = N25,000 x 0.02 x 5 Simple Interest = N25,000 x 0.1 Simple Interest = N2,500

To find the total amount at the end of 5 years, we add the simple interest to the principal:

Total Amount = Principal + Simple Interest Total Amount = N25,000 + N2,500 Total Amount = N27,500

Therefore, at the end of 5 years, the total amount would be N27,500.
