      Solution

      Principal = ₹8000 Rate = 5% per annum Time = 2 years Simple Interest (SI) = (P * R * T) / 100 Interest for 2 years = (8000 * 5 * 2) / 100 = ₹800 Total amount after 2 years = ₹8800 Now, calculate interest for 3 years: Interest for 3 years = (8000 * 5 * 3) / 100 = ₹1200 Thus, the interest earned after 3 years is ₹1200. Answer: c) ₹1200
