    A ₹20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Principal P = ₹8000, Rate r = 10% p.a., Time t = 2 years. Simple Interest (SI) = (P × r × t) / 100 = (8000 × 10 × 2) / 100 = ₹1600 Compound Amount (A) = P(1 + r/100)t = 8000 × (1.10)2 = 8000 × 1.21 = ₹9680 Compound Interest (CI) = A − P = 9680 − 8000 = ₹1680 Difference = CI − SI = 1680 − 1600 = ₹80
