Find the compound interest on Rs. 20000 for 1 year at 12% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 2400.00
B. Rs. 2600.00
C. Rs. 2510.18
D. Rs. 2550.00
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Quarterly rate = 12 / 4 = 3%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 20000 * (1 + 3/100)^4 = 20000 * (1.03)^4 = 20000 * 1.12550881 = Rs. 22510.18. Compound Interest = 22510.18 - 20000 = Rs. 2510.18.
