Compound Interest

Question:

The amount on a certain sum at 15% rate of interest compounded annually in 3 years is Rs. 12000. What will be the amount after 4th year?

Options:

13400

13600

13800

14000

Correct Answer:

13800

Explanation:

In C.I. the amount after 3 years will become the principal for 4th year.

Therefore,

A = P (1+ \(\frac{R}{100}\))1

A = 12000(1 + \(\frac{15}{100}\)) = 12000 × \(\frac{115}{100}\)

   = 13800
