Solution

Here, P = ₹8000, R = `10 1/2 = 21/2` p.c.p.a, N = 2 Years

A = `"P"(1 + "R"/100)^"N"`

= `8000(1 + (21/2)/100)^2`

= `8000(1 + 21/200)^2`

= `8000((200 + 21)/200)^2`

= `8000(221/200)^2`

= `8000 xx 221/200 xx 221/200`

= `(2 xx 221 xx 221)/10`

= `97682/10`

∴ A = 9768.2

∵ A = P + I

9768.2 = 8000 + I

9768.2 − 8000 = I

I = ₹ 1768.2
