    A sum of Rs. 24000 is borrowed for \[1\frac{1}{2}\,yr\] at the rate of interest 10% per annum compounded semi-annually. What is the compound interest (x)

    A) \[x<Rs.\,3000\]             

    B) \[Rs.\,3000<x<Rs.\,4000\]

    C) \[Rs.\,4000<x<Rs.\,5000\]

    D) \[x>Rs.\,5000\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given that, \[P=Rs.\,24000,\] \[R%=10%\] per annum \[=5%\] per half yr \[T=1\frac{1}{2}yr=\frac{3}{2}\times 2\,yr=3\,\text{half}\,\,\text{yr}\] \[\because \]       \[CI=P\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}-1 \right]\] \[\therefore \]      \[CI=24000\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{5}{100} \right)}^{3}}-1 \right]\] \[=24000\left[ {{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{3}}-1 \right]=24000[{{(1.05)}^{3}}-1]\] \[=24000\times 0.1576=3782.4\] But       \[CI=x\] Therefore, \[Rs.\,3000\text{ }<x<Rs.\,4000\]
