A person deposited ₹15,600 in a fixed deposit at 10% per annum simple interest. After every second year he adds his interest each earned to the principal. The interest at the end of 4 years is : |
₹6,655 ₹6,864 ₹3,975 ₹3,744 |
₹6,864 |
Principal(P)= 15600 Rate(R) = 10% Interest(I) of two years =10×2 = 20% =20% of 15600 = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 15600 = Rs 3120 so add Interest in Principle after every two years =15600+3120 =Rs 18720 P=18720 Interest of two years 10×2=20% 20% of 18720 \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 18720 = Rs 3744 So Total Interest for 4 years = 3120+3744 = Rs 6864 |
