Correct Answer: Rs. 1050


Solution : The formula for the calculation of compound interest for half a year,
$\text{Compound interest}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{2×100})^{\text{2×Time}}-\text{Principal}$
$⇒\text{Compound interest}=21000×(1+\frac{\text{10}}{2×100})^{\text{2×0.5}}-21000$
$⇒\text{Compound interest}=21000×(1+\frac{\text{1}}{20})^{\text{1}}-21000$
$⇒\text{Compound interest}=21000×(\frac{\text{21}}{20})-21000$
$⇒\text{Compound interest}=22050-21000$
$\therefore\text{Compound interest}=1050$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1050.
