    Solution

    Simple Interest (SI): SI = (P ├Ч R ├Ч T) / 100 = (5,000 ├Ч 8 ├Ч 2) / 100 = (5,000 ├Ч 16) / 100 = 80,000 / 100 = Rs 800 Compound Interest (CI): Amount A = P(1 + R/100)┬▓ = 5,000 ├Ч (1 + 8/100)┬▓ = 5,000 ├Ч (1 + 2/25)┬▓ = 5,000 ├Ч (27/25)┬▓ = 5,000 ├Ч (729/625) First divide 5,000 by 625: 5,000 ├╖ 625 = 8 So A = 8 ├Ч 729 = 5,832 CI = A тИТ P = 5,832 тИТ 5,000 = Rs 832 Difference = CI тИТ SI = 832 тИТ 800 = Rs 32 Answer: Rs 32
