Solution
Given: P = Rs. 3,500; r = 6% and n = 3 years
Since interest is being compounded half-yearly
Then, `"C.I." = "P"[( 1 + r/[ 2 xx 100 ])^(n xx 2)]`
= 3,500`[( 1 + 6/[ 2 xx 100 ])^(3 xx 2)]`
= 3,500`[(206/200)^6]`
= 3,500 × [(1.03)6]
= 3,500 × 1.194052
= ₹ 4179.18
C.I. = A - P
= ₹ 4179.18 – ₹ 3500
= ₹ 679.18
