Option D is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

Interest from bank A = 10000*n*5 / 100 = 500n ( n is the Investment period, in years, in Bank A)
Interest from bank B = (10000*6*5/ 100) + (500n*6*5/100) = 3000 + 150n

​Ratio of interest from Bank A and Bank B= 500n/ 3000 + 150n = 10/13
6500n = 30000 + 1500n
5000n = 30000
N = 30000/5000 = 6

Investment period, in years, in Bank A = 6
