      Question

      What is the total amount received from an investment of

      Rs. 8,000 for a period of 18 months, if the compound interest is calculated at 18% per annum and compounded semi-annually (once every 9 months)?
      A Rs. 10,305.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 11,250.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 9,480.60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Number of times the interest is compounded = 18 Γ· 9 = 2

      Rate of interest = 18 X (9/12) = 13.5%

      So, total amount received = 8000 X {1 + (13.5/100)} 2

      = 8000 X 1.135 2 = Rs. 10305.8
