      Solution

      ATQ, The money doubles in 8 years under simple interest. This means the interest earned in 8 years is equal to the principal (P). Since simple interest grows linearly, the money increases by P every 8 years. Now, calculating for 6 times the original amount (6P): 2P in 8 years 3P in 16 years 4P in 24 years 5P in 32 years 6P in 40 years Final Answer: Hence, the sum will become six times in 40 years.
