Option 1: 80

Option 2: 100

Option 3: 70

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80


Solution : Principal, $P = 50000$
Term, $n = 1$ year
Rate, $R = 8$%
When compounded half-yearly,
Compound Interest, CI = $P(1+\frac{R}{200})^{2n}-P$
= $50000 × (1+\frac{8}{200})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × (\frac{208}{200})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × (\frac{26}{25})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × \frac{676}{625} - 50000$
