C Correct answer
Explanation

The interest is directly proportional to the deposit. Interest = 80 for 1000, so rate = 80/1000 = 0.08. For 2500, interest = 2500 * 0.08 = 200.

AI explanation

From the table, a deposit of Rs. 1000 earns a simple interest of Rs. 80 in a year. Using the direct proportion method, you can find the interest on Rs. 2500 by calculating (80/1000) x 2500. This simplifies to 0.08 x 2500. The interest earned on Rs. 2500 is Rs. 200.
