Correct Answer: Rs. 3783
Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 24,000 Rate of Interest = 10% Time = $\frac{3}{2}$ year Formula used: CI = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n} - P$ where n is the number of years. Calculation, when interest is compounded semi-annually. CI= $24000(1+\frac{\frac{10}{2}}{100})^{3} - 24000$ CI= $24000(\frac{21}{20})^{3} -24000$ CI= 27783 – 24000 CI= Rs. 3783 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3783.
