Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹15,972.

Concept Used :

Amount=P(1+R100)TAmount = P({1 +{R \over 100}})^T

Given that:

P = ₹12,000

R = 10%

T = 3 years

 Amount=12,000(1+10100)3Amount = 12,000({1+{10 \over 100}})^3

A = 12,000 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10

A = 15,972

Hence the required amount is ₹15,972.
