What will be the compound interest on a sum of Rs. 25,000 after 3 years at the rate of 10% p.a.?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 8,275.

A = P(1 + R/100)n

= 25000(1 + 10/100)3

= 25000(1 + 1/10)3

= 25000 × (11/10)3

= 25000 × 11/10 × 11/10 × 11/10

= 33275

CI = 33275 – 25000 = 8275
