    D ₹680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Simple interest for 4 years = ₹1,280 Simple interest for 1 year = ₹1,280 ÷ 4 = ₹320 Principal = (Simple interest × 100) ÷ (Rate × Time) = (320 × 100) ÷ (8 × 1) = ₹4,000 For compound interest: A = P(1 + r/100)^t A = 4000(1 + 8/100)^2 = 4000(1.08)^2 = 4000 × 1.1664 = ₹4,665.6 Compound interest = A - P = ₹4,665.6 - ₹4,000 = ₹665.6 ≈ ₹666 Correct Option: b) ₹666
