Option (a) If John borrows $800 and pays $900 at end of an year, interest rate = (900-800)/800 *100% = 12.5%
Option (b) If John borrows $1000 and repays $1120 at end of year, interest rate = (1120-1000)/1000 * 100% = 12%
Option (c) If he borrows $1000, of which he invests $200 (balance above $800) at 10%, returns received in 1 year = 200*10/100 = $20
Hence, he borrows $1000, uses $800 and invests $200. He earned $20 and hence has to repay 1100. Hence, applicable interest rate in this scenario = (1100-1000)/1000 *100 = 10%
Hence, the best option is to borrow $1000, and invest $200
