Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹3673.

A=P(1+R100)n(1+ab×R100)A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^n \left(1 + \frac{a}{b} \times\frac{R}{100}\right)

Given : P=10000, R=12%, n=2, ab=34P = 10000,\ R = 12\%,\ n = 2,\ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{4}

A =10000×(1.12)2×(1+34×12100)=10000×1.2544×1.09=₹13672.96= 10000 \times (1.12)^2 \times \left(1 + \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{12}{100} \right) = 10000 \times 1.2544 \times 1.09 = ₹13672.96

CI = 13672.96 - 10000 = ₹3673
