    D Data inadequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since interest is compounded half-yearly, R = `(4)/(2)` = 2% p.a. and T =2xt = 2t years A= P [if gte msEquation 12]>P [if !msEquation]-->[endif]-->[1+ `(R)/(100)` ]t ⇒ 26,530.20 = 25,000[1+`(2)/(100)` ]2t ⇒ [if gte msEquation 12]> 26530.20 25000 [if !msEquation]--> `(26530.20)/(25000)` = [`(102)/(100)` [if gte msEquation 12]> 102 100 [if !msEquation]-->[endif]-->]2t ⇒ `(132651)/(125000)` = [`(102)/(100)` ]2t ⇒ [`(51)/(50)` ]3 = [ `(51)/(50)` ]2t ⇒ 2t = 3 yrs [if gte msEquation 12]>∴  [if !msEquation]-->[endif]-->t = `(3)/(2)` years.
