What is the compound interest on Rs. 50000 for 1.5 years at 4% per annum, compounded half-yearly? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

What is the compound interest on Rs. 50000 for 1.5 years at 4% per annum, compounded half-yearly?
A. Rs. 3120.80
B. Rs. 3060.40
C. Rs. 3100.00
D. Rs. 3000.00
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Half-yearly rate = 4/2 = 2%. Time = 1.5 years = 3 half-years. Amount = 50000 * (1 + 2/100)^3 = 50000 * (1.02)^3 = 50000 * 1.061208 = Rs. 53060.40. Compound Interest = 53060.40 - 50000 = Rs. 3060.40.
