Solution

We are given P = $R s . 10, 000$ , $R = 8 %$ , $n = 3$ years.
at $8 %$ column with the row $3$ years. It is $0.2597$ (by ready recknors) . This means $R s . 0.2597$ is the interest for $R s . 1$ for $3$ years at $8 %$ per anum.
Therefore compound interest for $R s . 10, 000 = 0.2597 \times 10, 000 = R s . 2, 597$ .
