Explanation:

Rs1,575.20

- To calculate compound interest with different rates each year, you apply each year's rate to the new principal.
- Start with Rs10,000:
- First year: 4% interest = Rs10,000 * 4% = Rs400. New principal is Rs10,400.
- Second year: 5% interest on Rs10,400 = Rs10,400 * 5% = Rs520. New principal is Rs10,920.
- Third year: 6% interest on Rs10,920 = Rs10,920 * 6% = Rs655.20.
- The total amount is Rs10,920 + Rs655.20 = Rs11,575.20.
- Compound interest over 3 years is Rs11,575.20 - Rs10,000 = Rs1,575.20.
