    1
    at 4% per annum
    2
    according as the interest is compounded yearly or halfyearly?
    1. 2.04
    2. 3.06
    3. 8.30
    4. 4.80
Correct Option: B

Given in question , Principal = ₹ 5000 , Time = 1.5 years , Rate = 5%
When Interest is compounded yearly ,

Compound Interest = 50001 +
4
1.5 − 5000
100

Compound Interest = 5000
26
1.5 − 5000
25

Compound Interest = 5302.9805 – 5000 = ₹ 302.9805
Again , when compounded half yearly ,
C.I. = 50001 +
2
3 − 5000
100

C.I. = 5306.04 – 5000 = ₹ 306.04
∴ Required difference = ₹ (306.04 – 302.9805) = ₹ 3.059 = ₹ 3.06
