  1. $22470$

  2. $23470$

  3. $24470$

  4. $25470$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  $P=Rs.20,500,\,R=7\%$ and $T=2\,years$


$\Rightarrow$  $A=P(1+\dfrac{R}{100})^T$


$\Rightarrow$  $A=20500\times (1+\dfrac{7}{100})^2$

$\Rightarrow$  $A=20500\times (\dfrac{107}{100})^2$

$\Rightarrow$  $A=20500\times (1.07)^2$

$\Rightarrow$  $A=20500\times 1.1449$

$\therefore$    $A=Rs.23470.$

$=Rs \cfrac{15000\times 13\times 1}{100}$
$=Rs1950$
Amount after the first year
$=Rs15000+Rs1950$
$Rs16950$
Interest for the second year
$=Rs\cfrac{16950\times 13\times 1}{100}$

  1. $30711.22$

  2. $20711.22$

  3. $40711.22$

  4. $10711.22$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We know the formula,
$A = P\left (1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{n.t}$
Where,
$A =$ total amount
$P =$ principal or amount of money deposited,
$r =$ annual interest rate
$n =$ number of times compounded per year
$t =$ time in years
Given:
$P =$ Rs. $20000, r = 10\%, n = 1$ and $t =$ $4\dfrac{1}{2}$ years
$A = 20000\left (1+\dfrac{0.1}{1}\right)^{1\times 4.5}$
$A = 20000\times 1.1^{4.5}$
$A = 20000\times 1.535561$
$A =$ Rs. $30711.22$
To find interest we use formula $A = P + I$, since $A = 30711.22$ and $P = 20000$ we have:
$A = P + I$
$30711.22 = 20000 + I$
$I = 30711.22 - 20000 = 10711.22$
Interest, I $=$ Rs. $10711.22$

  1. $18250.50$

  2. $28250.50$

  3. $38250.50$

  4. $48250.50$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given: $P = 12000, r = 15\%, n = 3$ years
$A = P\left [\left (1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^n\right]$
$A = 12000\left [\left (1+\dfrac{15}{100}\right)^3\right]$
$A =$ Rs. $18250.50$
