SSC CHSL - 26 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

An amount of ₹8,000 is invested at 10% compound interest. What will be the amount after 3 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹8,000

Rate (R) = 10% per annum

Time (T) = 3 years

By the formula:

A = P(1 + r/100)ᵀ

A = 8,000(1 + 10/100)³

A = 8,000(1.1)³

A = 8,000 × 1.331 = 10,648

Amount = ₹10,648
