Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Amount}} \cr & = {1600 \times {{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{2 \times 100}}} \right)}^2} + 1600 \times \left( {1 + \frac{5}{{2 \times 100}}} \right)} \cr & = {1600 \times \frac{{41}}{{40}} \times \frac{{41}}{{40}} + 1600 \times \frac{{41}}{{40}}} \cr & = {1600 \times \frac{{41}}{{40}}\left( {\frac{{41}}{{40}} + 1} \right)} \cr & = {\frac{{1600 \times 41 \times 81}}{{40 \times 40}}} \cr & = Rs.\,3321 \cr & \therefore C.I. = Rs.\,\left( {3321 - 3200} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = Rs.\,121 \cr} $$Join The Discussion

Thanks it is good
Thanks for the solution.
Why we multiple 2 in denominator formula is
Ci = p(1+r/100)^n+ p
in 1st line
how 2 x 100 come ??
January to june,
I=pnr
= 1600*1/2*5/100
= 40
Again, june to December
I=pnr
= 1640*1/2*5/100
=41
2nd case,
June to December
I=pnr
= 1600*1/2*5/100
= 40
So, total interest=40+41+40= 121
