What is the compound interest on Rs. 16000 for 1.5 years at 10% per annum, compounded half-yearly?
A. Rs. 2600
B. Rs. 2400
C. Rs. 2520
D. Rs. 2522
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Half-yearly rate = 10/2 = 5%. Time = 1.5 years = 3 half-years. Amount = 16000 * (1 + 5/100)^3 = 16000 * (1.05)^3 = 16000 * 1.157625 = Rs. 18522. Compound Interest = 18522 - 16000 = Rs. 2522.
