Question

. find the compound interest on 25000 for 1 and half year at 8% pA when the interest is compounded half yearly
please give me solution ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principle = Rs 25000

The interest is compounded annually

Therefore

Rate ; R= \dfrac{8}{2} = 4\%

8

=4%

Time : t = 1\dfrac{1}{2} \times 2 = 3 years1

×2=3years

Now as we know

\begin{gathered}A=P(1+\dfrac{R}{100} )^t= 25000(1+\dfrac{4}{100} )^3\\\\=25000\times \dfrac{104}{100} \times \dfrac{104}{100} \times \dfrac{104}{100} = Rs. 28121.6\end{gathered}

A=P(1+

C.I. = amount - principle =28121.6- 25000= Rs. 3121.6

Hence , the compound interest is Rs. 3121.6
