Correct Answer: INR 300
Solution : Principal Amount (P) = INR 12000 Time (T) = 3 months Rate of Interest (R) = 10% per annum The amount borrowed is compounded quarterly Time = 3 months = $\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ years For quarterly, the rates are divided by 4, and time is multiplied by 4 Quarterly rates = $\frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}$% New Time = $\frac{1}{4}\times 4$ = 1 quarter Amount = $\text{P}\times (1+\frac{\text{R}}{100})^{\text{T}} = 12000\times(1+\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{100})^1 = 12000\times \frac{41}{40}$ = 300 × 41 = INR 12300 Compound interest = Amount – Principal = INR 12300 – INR 12000 = INR 300 $\therefore$ The compound Interest payable at compounded quarterly is INR 300 Hence, the correct answer is INR 300.
