A. Rs. 60000
B. Rs. 72000
C. Rs. 62000
D. Rs. 54000
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Rate % = 10%,Time = 1 year
Case (I) : When interest is calculated yearly, Rate = 10%
Case (II) : When interest is calculated half yearly
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\text{New rate }}\% = \frac{{10}}{2} = 5\% \cr & {\text{Time = 1}} \times {\text{2}} = {\text{2 years}} \cr & {\text{Effective rate}}\% \cr & {\text{ = 5 + 5 + }}\frac{{5 \times 5}}{{100}} = 10.25\% \cr & {\text{Difference in rates}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {10.25 - 10} \right)\% = 0.25\% \cr & {\text{According to the question,}} \cr & {\text{0}}{\text{.25% of sum = Rs 180}} \cr & {\text{Sum = }}\frac{{180}}{{0.25}} \times 100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs. }}72000 \cr} $$
