Best answer

(c) ₹ 832

Explanation:

Present value= ₹ 5000

Interest rate= 8% per annum

Time=2 years

To find the amount we have the formula,

Amount (A) = P (1+(R/100))n

Where P is present value, r is rate of interest, n is time in years.

Now substituting the values in above formula we get,

∴ A = 5000 (1 + 8/100)2

⇒ A = 5000 (27/25)2

⇒ A = 200 (27 × 27/25)

⇒ A = 27 (27) (8)

⇒ A = ₹ 5832

∴ Compound interest = A – P

= 5832 – 5000= ₹ 832
