Rs 1,500
Incorrect AnswerRs 1,450
Incorrect AnswerRs 1,020
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
To calculate compound interest for 2 years on Rs 6,250 at an annual interest rate of 8%, use the formula:
\[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^n \]
- Where:
- \( P = 6,250 \) (Principal amount)
- \( r = 8\% \) (Annual interest rate)
- \( n = 2 \) (Number of years)
- Calculation:
- First, find the amount after 2 years:
\[ A = 6250 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^2 \]
\[ A = 6250 \times \left(1.08\right)^2 \]
\[ A = 6250 \times 1.1664 \]
\[ A = 7,290 \]
- Compound Interest:
\[ \text{C.I.} = A - P = 7,290 - 6,250 = 1,040 \]
- Correct Option:
- Option 1: Rs 1,040
? Option 1: Rs 1,040
