Correct Answer: Rs. 1,530
Solution :
Simple Interest $= \frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$
⇒ $4500 = \frac{P × 6 × 4}{100}$
⇒ $P = \frac{4500 × 100}{6 × 4}$
⇒ $P = 750 × 25 = \text{Rs. }18750$
Now, Compound Interest $= P(1 + \frac{R}{100})^T- P$
⇒ $CI= 18750(1 + \frac{4}{100})^2 - 18750$
⇒ $CI = 18750\times(\frac{26}{25})^2 - 18750$
⇒ $CI = 18750 × \frac{676}{625} - 18750$
⇒ $CI = 20280 - 18750 =1530$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1530.
