Find the interest on Rs. 19,000 for 2 years at the rate of 40% per year compounded semi annually.1. Rs. 20,548.42. Rs. 20,398.43. Rs. 15,548.54. Rs. 30,548.4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 20,398.4

Given:

Principle = 19000

Time = 2 years

Rate = 40%

Condition = Semi annually 

Concept used:

The interest compounded is Semi-annually ( half yearly )

New rate = Rate/2 

New time = Time × 2

Formula used:

C.P = P{(1 + R/100)T – 1}

Where, 

C.P → Compound interest 

P → Principal 

R → Rate 

T → Time 

Calculations:

New rate = 40/2 = 20%

New time = 2 × 2 = 4

C.P = P{(1 + R/100)T – 1}

⇒ 19000{(1 + 20/100)4 –  1}

⇒ 19000{(1 + 1/5)4 – 1}

⇒ 19000 {(6/5)4 – 1}

⇒ 19000 {(6/5 × 6/5 × 6/5 × 6/5) – 1}

⇒ 19000{(1296/625) – 1}

⇒ 19000(1296 – 625)/625

⇒ 19000 × (671/625)

⇒ 30.4 × 671

⇒ Rs. 20,398.4

∴ The compound interest is Rs. 20,398.4
