Correct Answer: 13.42%


Solution : Rate of interest per annum = 13%
Rate of interest half yearly = $\frac{13}{2}\%$
Use: Single equivalent increase = $(a+b+\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive percentage change.
$\therefore$ The effective rate of interest for one year when interest is counted half yearly = $\frac{13}{2}+\frac{13}{2}+\frac{\frac{13}{2}\times\frac{13}{2} }{100}$
= 13 + 0.42
= 13.42%
Hence, the correct answer is 13.42%.
