A Correct answer
Explanation

Principal = Rs. 10,000, Rate = 20% p.a., Time = 9 months, Quarterly compounding (4 times per year). Rate per quarter = 20/4 = 5%, Number of quarters = 9/3 = 3. Amount = 10000(1+5/100)³ = 10000(1.05)³ = 10000×1.157625 = Rs. 11,576.25. CI = Amount - Principal = 11576.25 - 10000 = Rs. 1,576.25. This tests compound interest with non-annual compounding periods.
