Find the compound interest on Rs. 10000 for 1 year at 12% per annum, compounded quarterly. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Find the compound interest on Rs. 10000 for 1 year at 12% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 1280.00
B. Rs. 1200.00
C. Rs. 1262.00
D. Rs. 1255.09
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Quarterly rate = 12 / 4 = 3%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 10000 * (1 + 3/100)^4 = 10000 * (1.03)^4 = 10000 * 1.12550881 = Rs. 11255.09. Compound Interest = 11255.09 - 10000 = Rs. 1255.09.
