Compound Interest

Question:

Find the compound interest (in ₹) on a sum of ₹7,500 for 4 years if the rate of interest is 20% per annum for the first two years and 10% per annum for the next two years.(The interest is compounded annually.)

Options:

5,658

5,586

6,558

5,568

Correct Answer:

5,568

Explanation:

Principal = 7500 , rate = 20% for first 2 year and 10% for next two years. time = 4 year

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

Compound interest = Amount - Principal

= 7500 × \(\frac{6}{5}\) × \(\frac{6}{5}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{11}{10}\) - 7500

= 13068 - 7500

= 5568
