Effective annual rate of interest corresponding to nominal rate of 6% per annum compounded half yearly will be

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Principal = Rs.1000;
Amount = Rs.1331;
Rate = Rs.10%p.a.

Let the time be n years then,

\begin{aligned}
1000(1+\frac{10}{100})^n = 1331 \\

(\frac{11}{10})^n = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

(\frac{11}{10})^3 = \frac{1331}{1000} \\

\end{aligned}
So answer is 3 years

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Amount = [7500 \times (1+ \frac{4}{100})^2] \\
= (7500 \times \frac{26}{25} \times \frac{26}{25}) \\
= 8112 \\

\end{aligned}

So compound interest = (8112 - 7500) = 612

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the amount Rs 100 for 1 year when compounded half yearly, n = 2, Rate = 6/2 = 3%

\begin{aligned}
Amount = 100(1+\frac{3}{100})^2 = 106.09
\end{aligned}

Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
[200(1+\frac{5}{100})^3 + 200(1+\frac{5}{100})^2+ \\ 200(1+\frac{5}{100})]

= [200(\frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20})\\
+ 200(\frac{21}{20}\times\frac{21}{20})+200(\frac{21}{20})] \\

= 662.02
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

S.I. on Rs 800 for 1 year = 40

Rate = (100*40)/(800*1) = 5%
