Question : In how many months will Rs. 8000 yield Rs. 2648 if compound interest at 20% per annum is compounded semi-annually?

Option 1: 18

Option 2: 24

Option 3: 12

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : We have,
$P$ = Rs. 8,000, $r$ = 20% and $t$ = 2 (compounded semi-annually).
$A$ = $P$ + $\text{Interest}$ = Rs. 8000 + Rs. 2648 = Rs. 10,648.
$A = P \left(1+\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{100}\right)^{2t}$
$⇒10648 = 8000 \left(1+\frac{\frac{20}{2}}{2}\right)^{2t}$
$⇒1.331 = \left(1.1\right)^{2t}$
$⇒(1.1)^3 = \left(1.1\right)^{2t}$
$⇒ 3
