The total amount after 3 quarters would be Rs.13,310. If the rate of interest is 40% per annum and compounding is performed quarterly, determine the present value (in Rs.).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 10000.

We know that the formula of compound interest is:-

= P × (1 + r/n)nt

⇒ 13310 = P × (1 + 40/400)3

⇒ 13310 = P × (1.1)3

⇒ 13310 = P × (1.331)

 P = 10,000
