Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2,544

Given:

Amount after 4 years (A4) = Rs. 7,562

Amount after 5 years (A5) = Rs. 8,469.44

Principal (P) = Rs. 10,000

Formula used:

CI = P × [(1 + R/100)n – 1]

Where CI is compound interest, P is principal, R is rate percent, and n is time in years

Calculation:

Let the rate of interest be R%

CI for fifth year = A5 – A4 = 8,469.44 – 7562

⇒ CI for fifth year = 907.44

CI for fifth year = R% of A4 

⇒ 907.44 = (R/100) × 7562

⇒ R = 90744/7562

⇒ R = 12%

CI = 10,000 × [(1 + 12/100)2 – 1]

⇒ CI = 10000 × 0.2544

∴ CI is Rs. 2,544
