  1. (i) Here,
    Principal (P) = ₹ 8000, Rate of Interest (R) = 5%, Time (n) = 2 years
    Amount (A) = P (1+R/100)ⁿ = 8000(1+5/100)² = 8000(1+1/20)²
    = 8000(21/20)² = 8000 x 21/20 x21/20 =₹8,820
    (ii) Here, Principal (P) = ₹ 8000, Rate of Interest (R) = 5%, Time (n) = 3 years
    Amount (A) = P(1+R/100)ⁿ = 8000(1+5/100)³ = 8000(1+ 1/20)³
    = 8000 (21/20)³ = 8000x 21/20 x21/21 x 21/20 = ₹ 9,261

    Interest for 3rd year = A – P = ₹ 9,261 – ₹ 8,820 = ₹ 441
