    Solution

    ATQ,

    Simple interest = (Principal × rate × time) ÷ 100

    So, interest earned = Amount - Principal

    So, interest earned = 72600 - 55000 = Rs. 17,600

    So, 17600 = (55000 × r × 2) ÷ 100

    So, r = 16

    So, new rate of interest = 16 × (5/8) = 10%

    So, required interest = (80000 × 10 × 4) ÷ 100 = Rs.32,000
