Find the compound interest on Rs. 10000 for 1 year at 16% per annum, compounded quarterly. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Find the compound interest on Rs. 10000 for 1 year at 16% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 1720.00
B. Rs. 1698.59
C. Rs. 1600.00
D. Rs. 1750.00
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Quarterly rate = 16 / 4 = 4%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 10000 * (1 + 4/100)^4 = 10000 * (1.04)^4 = 10000 * 1.16985856 = Rs. 11698.59. Compound Interest = 11698.59 - 10000 = Rs. 1698.59.

Question #3 Report Error
The population of a small community grows by 10% in the first year and decreases by 10% in the second year. If the population at the end of 2 years is 39600, find the original population.
A. Rs. 42000
B. Rs. 40000
C. Rs. 38000
D. Rs. 44000

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Net change over 2 years = +10 - 10 - (1010)/100 = -1% (decrease). So, 99% of original population = 39600 => Original population = 39600 / 0.99 = 40000.
