A=P(1+R/100)^n.
8000(1+5/100)^2,
80(105)^2.
= 105 * 105 = 11025 * 80 = 882000.

Traditional method:

For 1st year:8000*5/100=rs 400.
For 2nd year:8400*5/100=rs 420.
Total: rs 820.
Total amount= principal amount + interest.
So, 8000+820 = rs8820.

5% = 5/100 = 1/20.
20:21(20+1),
20 * 20:21 * 21,
=400:441.

400 * 20:441 * 20,
8000:8820.
8820 => answer.
