      Question

      What is the interest earned when Rs. 8000 is invested

      for 18 months in a scheme which offers compound interest (compounded every 6 months) of 20% p.a.
      A Rs. 2528 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2592 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2648 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Time period = 18 ÷ 6 = 3 terms of 6 months each Effective rate of interest = 20 × (6/12) = 10% So, interest earned = 8000(1 + 10/100)³ – 8000
      = 8000 × (110/100)³ – 8000
      = 8000 × 1.331 – 8000
      = 10648 – 8000 = Rs. 2648
