Correct Answer: Rs. 10,648
Solution : Here, Principal = Rs. 8,000 Rate = 20%, but it compounded half-yearly. so, rate = $\frac{20}{2}$ = 10% since interest is compounded half-yearly, time = 1.5 × 2 = 3 $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒\text{Total Amount} = 8000 \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^{3} $ $⇒\text{Total Amount}=8000(\frac{11}{10})^3$ $⇒\text{Total Amount}=8000(\frac{1331}{1000})$ $\therefore \text{Total Amount}=10648 $ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10,648.
