Time = 2 years 4 months = 2(4/12) years = 2(1/3) years.
Amount = Rs'. [8000 X (1+(15/100))^2 X (1+((1/3)*15)/100)]
=Rs. [8000 * (23/20) * (23/20) * (21/20)]

The compound interest on rs.30000 at 7% per annum is Rs.4347. The period is

 A) 2 years B) 2.5 years C) 3 years D) 4 years

Explanation:

Amount = Rs.(30000+4347) = Rs.34347

let the time be n years

Then,30000(1+7/100)^n = 34347

(107/100)^n = 34347/30000 = 11449/10000 = (107/100)^2

C.I. when compounded half yearly = $x1+101004-x=464110000$

C.I. when compounded annually =$x201002-x=1125$

$464110000x-1125x=482$

=> x=20000
