      Question

      Find the compound interest earned on Rs. 35000 at 11% per

      annum, compounded half yearly, after 1 year.
      A Rs.1844.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.2264 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.3961.63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.3040 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Effective rate of interest = 11 × (6/12) = 5.5%

      Effective time or number of terms = 2 half years

      Or, amount received = 35000 × {1 + (5.5/100)}² = 35000 × (105.5/100) × (105.5/100) = Rs. 38961.63

      Therefore, interest received = 38961.63 - 35000 = Rs. 3961.63
