Question:

Ram deposited an amount of ₹ 8,000 in a bank’s savings account with interest 6.5% compounded monthly. What amount will he get at the end of 18 months?

Options:

₹8816.97

₹8788.98

₹8907.56

₹8790.54

Correct Answer:

₹8816.97

Explanation:

Formula used-

Amount = P$(1 \;+\; \frac{R}{100})^t$

Here, Amount = Rs 8000 , R = 6.5% per month , t = 18 months

A =  8000$(1 \;+\; \frac{6.5}{12 ×100})^18$

⇒ A = 8000[$(\frac{100.54}{100})^18 $]

⇒ A  = 8000 ( 1.1021 )

⇒ A   = 8816.97

So, amount is Rs. 8816.97
