Solution

The problem is about simple interest which is calculated using the formula:

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

In this case, the time is 1 year and the rate of interest changes from 10% to 5%. The difference in interest is given as Rs. 4000. We can set up the equation as follows:

Principal * 10% * 1 - Principal * 5% * 1 = 4000 0.10 * Principal - 0.05 * Principal = 4000 0.05 * Principal = 4000

Now, we can solve for the Principal:

Principal = 4000 / 0.05 = Rs. 80000

So, the man's principal is Rs. 80000.
