Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Principal (}}{{\text{P}}_1}{\text{) = Rs. 6000}} \cr & {\text{Time (t) = 2 years}} \cr & {\text{Rate % = 5% }} \cr & {\text{Simple interest}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{6000 \times 5 \times 2}}{{100}}{\text{ = Rs. 600}} \cr & {\text{Principal (}}{{\text{P}}_2}{\text{) = Rs. 5000}} \cr & {\text{Time (t) = 2 years}} \cr & {\text{Rate % = 8% }} \cr} $$2 year effective rate for Compound interest
$$\eqalign{ & = 8 + 8 + \frac{{8 \times 8}}{{100}} = 16.64\% \cr & {\text{Compound}}\,{\text{Interest}} \cr & {\text{ = 5000}} \times \frac{{16.64}}{{100}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 832}} \cr & {\text{Difference}} \cr & {\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. }}\left( {832 - 600} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,232 \cr & {\text{ }} \cr} $$
