      earned simple interest at a rate of 'x%' per annum. After 2 years, the total amount in the account grew to Rs. 39,000. If the same individual had instead invested Rs. 20,000 at the same annual interest rate for a period of 4 years, determine the total interest accrued from this second investment.
