What is the interest earned if Rs. 40000 is compounded annually at 12.5% p.a. for 2 years?1. Rs. 100002. Rs. 50003. Rs. 100254. Rs. 56255. Rs. 10625

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Rs. 10625

Given:

Principal = Rs. 40000

Rate% = 12.5%

Time = 2 years

Formula used:

\(CI = P × \left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^n}-1} \right]\)

Calculation:

\(CI = P × \left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^n}-1} \right]\)

\(⇒ CI = 40000 × \left[ { {{\left( {1 + \frac{12.5}{{100}}} \right)}^2}-1} \right]\)

⇒ CI = 40000 × [(1 + 1/8)2 – 1 ]

⇒ CI = 40000 × (81/64 – 1)

⇒ CI = 40000 × (17/64)

∴ CI is Rs. 10625
