A. Rs. 2520
B. Rs. 2524
C. Rs. 2522
D. Rs. 2518
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The interest is compounded quarterly,$$\therefore R = \frac{{20}}{4} = 5\% $$
Time = 3 quarters
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore C.I. = P\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{R}{{100}}} \right)}^T} - 1} \right] \cr & = 16000\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)}^3} - 1} \right] \cr & = 16000\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{21}}{{20}}} \right)}^3} - 1} \right] \cr & = 16000\left( {\frac{{9261 - 8000}}{{8000}}} \right) \cr & = 16000 \times \frac{{1261}}{{8000}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\,2522 \cr} $$
