Q:

What is the difference between the compound interests on Rs. 5000 for 11⁄2 years at 4% per annum compounded yearly and half-yearly?

A) Rs. 1.80 B) Rs. 2.04
C) Rs. 3.18 D) Rs. 4.15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 2.04

Explanation:

Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000)


Amount after 112 years when interest is compounded half-yearly 


Compound Interest for 1 12 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000)


Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04
