Question #3 Report Error
Find the compound interest on Rs. 15625 for 9 months at 16% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 1951
B. Rs. 1850
C. Rs. 2000
D. Rs. 2100

Explanation:
Quarterly rate = 16 / 4 = 4%. Time = 9 months = 3 quarters. Amount = 15625 * (1 + 4/100)^3 = 15625 * (26/25)^3 = 15625 * (17576 / 15625) = Rs. 17576. Compound Interest = 17576 - 15625 = Rs. 1951.
