Solution

Principal (P) = ₹8000

Rate (R) = 10% p.a.

Period (T) = 3 years

∴ S.I. for 3 years =`"PRT"/100=(8000xx10xx3)/100`

= ₹2400

Now, S.I. for 1st year =`₹(8000xx10xx1)/100`

= 80 × 10 × 1

= ₹800

Amount for the first year = P + S.I.

= ₹8000 + ₹800

= ₹8800

Principal for the second year = ₹8800

Interest for the second year =`(8800xx10xx1)/100`

= ₹880

∴ Amount after second year = ₹8800 + ₹880

= ₹9680

Principal for the third year = ₹9680

Interest for the third year

`=₹(9680xx10xx1)/100`

= ₹968

∴  C.I. for 3 year = ₹800 + ₹880 + ₹968

= ₹2648

∴ Differeence between C.I. and S.I. for 3 year

= ₹2648 − ₹2400

= ₹248
