Correct Answer: INR 40,255


Solution : Given: Principal = INR 100000
Rate = 7%
Time = 5 years
We know that,
$CI= P((1+\frac{R}{100})^{T}-1)$
$= 100000((1+\frac{7}{100})^{5}-1)$
$= 100000((\frac{107}{100})^{5}-1)$
$= 100000(\frac{14025517307}{10000000000}-1)$
$= 100000(\frac{14025517307-10000000000}{10000000000})$
$= 100000(\frac{4025517307}{10000000000})$
$= \frac{4025517307}{100000}$
$= 40255.17307$
= 40255 (Closest to an INR)
Hence, the correct answer is INR 40255.
