      Question

      A bank offers interest at the rate of 10% per annum,

      compounded half yearly. Find the interest received at the end of the year on a sum of Rs. 30000.
      A Rs.3152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.3075 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.2162 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.3040 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Effective rate of interest = 10 × (6/12) = 5%

      Effective time or number of terms = 2 half years

      Or, amount received = 30000 × {1 + (5/100)}² = 30000 × (105/100) × (105/100) = Rs. 33075

      Therefore, interest received = 33075 - 30000 = Rs. 3075
