Solution

Principal (P) = ₹ 15000

Rate of interest 1 (a) = 15% for year I

Rate of interest 2 (b) = 20% for year II

Rate of interest 3 (c) = 25% for year III

Formula for amount when rate of interest is different for different years is

A = `(1 + "a"/100)^1 (1 + "b"/100)^1 (1 + "c"/100)^1`

Substituting in the above formula, we get

A = `15000(1 + 15/100)(1 + 20/100)(1 + 25/100)`

= `15000 xx 115/100 xx 120/100 xx 125/100`

= 25,875

∴ Compound Interest (C.I.) = A – P

= 25,875 – 15,000

= ₹ 10,875

∴ C.I. = ₹ 10,875
