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.
