Correct Answer: INR 6,050
Solution :
Principal sum = INR 50000
Rate = 10% per annum compounded annually
Interest in first year = 10% of 50000 = 5000
Amount after one year = 55000
Interest in second year = 10% of 55000 = 5500
Amount after two years = 55000 + 5500 = 60500
Interest in third year = 10% of 60500 = 6050
Hence, the correct answer is INR 6050.
