    C Rs 8200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 8400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested at compound interest be Rs. x
    According to the question,
    x(1 + 8/100) 2 = 5832
    or, x = 5832/1.1664 = Rs. 5000
    Required amount received = {(5000 ├Ч 12 ├Ч 5)/100} + 5000 = Rs. 8000
