Correct Answer: Rs. 1509.21
Solution : Principal = Rs. 16400 As it compounded half yearly, so Time = 2 Rate = $\frac{9}{2}$ Total Amount = Principal × $(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $=16400(1+\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{100})^2$ $=16400(1+\frac{9}{200})^2$ $=16400×\frac{209}{200}×\frac{209}{200}$ $=17909.21$ Compound interest = 17909.21 – 16400 = 1509.21 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1509.21.
