Solution

Given: 
P = Rs 64, 000
R = 5 % for every six months
Value of the plot after two years = P \[\left( 1 + \frac{R}{100} \right)^n \]
\[ \Rightarrow 64, 000 \left( 1 + \frac{5}{200} \right)^4 \]
\[ = 64, 000 \left( 1 . 025 \right)^4 \]
\[ = 706, 440 . 25\]
Thus, the value of the plot after two years will be Rs 706, 440.25.
