      Question

      What is the interest earned when Rs. 5000 is invested

      for 2 years in a scheme which offers compound interest (compounded every 12 months) of 20% p.a.
      A Rs. 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Time period = 24 ÷ 12 = 2 terms of 12 months each Effective rate of interest = 20 × (12/12) = 20% So, interest earned = 5000(1 + 20/100)² – 5000
      = 5000 × (120/100)² – 5000
      = 5000 × 1.44 – 5000
      = 7200 – 5000 = Rs. 2200
