Correct Answer - Option 3 : 6083.50
Given:
A sum becomes Rs. 4840 in 2 years and Rs. 5856.4 in 4 years when compounded annually.
Formula:
Amount under simple interest = P × r × t/100
Amount under compound interest = P + (P × r × t/100),
where P is Principal, r is rate of interest and t is time
Calculation:
P(1 + r/100)2 = 4840
P(1 + r/100)4 = 5856.4
Dividing both the equation we get,
5856.4/4840 = (1 + r/100)2
⇒ r = 10
⇒ P = 4000
Required amount = 4000(1 + 15/100)3 = Rs.6083.50
