What is the compound interest on a sum of ₹25,000 after three years at a rate of 12 per
 cent per annum interest compounded yearly?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct Answer is Option 1 i.e. ₹10,123.20

According to the question

The rate is 12 % annually compounded for 3 years

After 3 years, Amount/Principal = (28/25)3 = 21952/15625

Hence, CI = 21952 - 15625 = 6327 units

15625 units = 25000

then CI (6327 units) = 25000 * 6327/15625) = 10123.20 Rs
