Correct Answer: INR 4,080
Solution :
Given, Principal, P = INR 50,000
Rate of interest
= 4% per half-year
Time = 1 years with half-yearly interest = 2 half years
Amount = P ×
= 50000
= 50000
= 50000
= 50000 ×
= INR 54,080
Now, Compound interest = Total amount – Principal = 54080 – 50000 = INR 4080
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4080.
