For a particular year the simple interest at 10% is ₹ 800. The compound interest for the next year at the same rate is :
- (a)₹ 880
- (b)₹ 800
- (c)₹ 720
- (d)₹ 968

Given,
Interest = ₹ 800
T = 1 year
R = 10%
Let money on which interest is ₹ 800 be P.
By formula,
Interest = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$
Substituting values we get :
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 800 = \frac{P \times 10 \times 1}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow P = \frac{800 \times 100}{10} = 8000.\end{aligned}$$
We know that,
S.I. and C.I. for first year are equal.
C.I. for first year = ₹ 800
For second year :
P = ₹ 8000 + ₹ 800 = ₹ 8800
R = 10%
T = 1 year
I = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \frac{8800 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = ₹ 880.
Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
