Option 1: Rs. 937.5

Option 2: Rs. 9,000

Option 3: Rs. 9,365

Option 4: Rs. 9,375

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 9,375


Solution : Given: Rate = 16%
Time = 1 year
Difference between the compound interest for 1 year, payable half-yearly, and the simple interest for 1 year = Rs. 60
We know that,
Compound interest = $\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{2×100})^{\text{2×Time}}-\text{Principal}$
⇒ Compound interest = $\text{Principal}×((1+\frac{8}{2×100})^{\text{2×1}}-1)$
= $\text{Principal}×(1.1664-1)$
= $0.1664
