Correct Answer: INR 7,900
Solution : Here, principal = INR 6,500 Rate compounded half-yearly = $\frac{10}{2}=5\%$ Time = 2 × 2 = 4 years as it compounded half-yearly We know, Total amount = $P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{n}$, where $P$ = Principal, $r$ = Rate of interest, $n$ = Time ⇒ Total amount = $6500(1+\frac{5}{100})^4$ ⇒ Total amount = $6500(\frac{21}{20})^4$ ⇒ Total amount = $6500×\frac{441}{400}×\frac{441}{400}$ ⇒ Total amount = $7900.79\approx 7900$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 7900.
