Q:

Find the C.I. on Rs. 15,225 for 9 months at 16% per annum compounded quarterly ?

A) Rs. 1911 B) Rs. 1909
C) Rs. 1901 D) Rs. 1907
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1901

Explanation:

P = Rs. 15225, n = 9 months = 3 quarters, R = 16% p.a. per quarter.

 

Amount = 15225x1+41003

 

= (15225 x 26/25 x 26/25 x 26/25) = Rs. 17126.05

 

=> C.I. = 17126 - 15625 = Rs. 1901.05.
