    for 2 years in a scheme which offers compound interest (compounded every 12 months) of 20% p.a.
    A Rs. 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 4400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3800 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 = 10000(1 + 20/100)² – 10000
    = 10000 × (120/100)² – 10000
    = 10000 × 1.44 – 10000
    = 14400 – 10000 = Rs. 4400
