उत्तर

Let the sum be P

Interest for first year :

`"P" (1 + 8/100) - "P"` ...............(i)

Interest for third year :

`"P" (1 + 8/100)^3 - "P"(1 + 8/100)^2` ..............(ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i) 

`"P" (1 + 8/100)^3 - "P"(1 + 8/100)^2 - "P" (1 + 8/100) + "P"` = Rs 166.40

Rs 166.40 = 1.259712 P- 1.1664 P-1.08 P + P

Rs 166.40 = 0. 013312P

P = Rs 12,500 

Hence the sum is Rs 12,500
