Interest in 2nd year = 1980 Rs.
Interest in 3rd year = 2178 Rs.
Difference = 2178 -1980
198

Rate of interest = (198/1980) x 100 = 10 % 

If the rate of rate of interest is 10 % compounded annually then the interest in second year is 11 % 

It means 1980 is 11% and we have to calculate first year i.e we have to calculate 10 % of p 

Interest of 1st year = (1980/11) x 10 = 180 x 10 = 1800 Rs.
