    A Rs. 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount due at the end of 2 years
    = 80000 × {1 + (5/100)}²
    = 80000 × (1.05)²
    = 80000 × 1.1025
    = Rs. 88,200 So, interest due = 88,200 − 80,000 = Rs. 8,200 Simple interest due after two years = (80,000 × 5 × 2) ÷ 100
    = Rs. 8,000 So, loss incurred by Ajay = 8,200 − 8,000 = Rs. 200
