    for 18 months in a scheme which offers compound interest (compounded every 9 months) of 16% p.a.
    A Rs. 1560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1590 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time period = 18 ÷ 9 = 2 terms of 9 months each Effective rate of interest = 16 × (9/12) = 12% So, interest earned = 6250(1 + 12/100)² – 6250
    = 6250 × (112/100)² – 6250
    = 6250 × 1.2544 – 6250
    = 7840 – 6250 = Rs. 1590
