Question #2
Find the compound interest on Rs. 50000 for 1 year at 12% per annum, compounded quarterly.
A. Rs. 6275.44
B. Rs. 6000.00
C. Rs. 6400.00

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Quarterly rate = 12 / 4 = 3%. Time = 4 quarters. Amount = 50000 * (1 + 3/100)^4 = 50000 * (1.03)^4 = 50000 * 1.12550881 = Rs. 56275.44. Compound Interest = 56275.44 - 50000 = Rs. 6275.44.
