A. Rs. 16000.00
B. Rs. 16985.86
C. Rs. 17200.00
D. Rs. 17500.00
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Quarterly rate = 16 / 4 = 4%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 100000 * (1 + 4/100)^4 = 100000 * (1.04)^4 = 100000 * 1.16985856 = Rs. 116985.86. Compound Interest = 116985.86 - 100000 = Rs. 16985.86.
