A. Rs. 5100.00
B. Rs. 4800.00
C. Rs. 5210.50
D. Rs. 5020.34
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Quarterly rate = 12 / 4 = 3%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 40000 * (1 + 3/100)^4 = 40000 * (1.03)^4 = 40000 * 1.12550881 = Rs. 45020.35. Compound Interest = 45020.35 - 40000 = Rs. 5020.35. Correct option matches B layout metrics.
