What is the compound interest on 25,000 for 3 years at 10% per annum compounded yearly?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 8,275.

Principal P = 25,000

t = 3 years

r = 10%

Compound interest = CI

CI = P{1 + r/100)t - 1}

CI = 25000{1 + 10/100)3 - 1}

CI = 25000{1331/1000 - 1}

CI = 25000 × 331/1000

CI = Rs 8275
