      Question

      A sum of Rs. 'p' is invested at a

      compound interest rate of 15% per annum, compounded once every 8 months. After 16 months, the total interest earned is Rs. 1785. Determine the value of 'p'.
      A 8560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Eective time = (16/8) = 2 terms Eective rate of interest = 15 Γ— (8/12) = 10% So, interest earned = p(1 + 10/100)2 – p = 1785 Or, 1.21p – p = 1785 Or, p = 1785 Γ· 0.21 = 8500
