Solution
True
Explanation;
Hint:
Principal (P) = 16000
n = 9 months = `9/12` years
r = 20% p.a
For compounding quarterly, we have to use below formula,
Amount (A) = `"P" xx (1 + "r"/100)^(4"n")`
Since quarterly we have to divide ‘r’ by 4
r = `20/4` = 5%
A = `1600(1 + 5/100)^(9/12 xx 4)`
= `16000(105/100)^(9/12 xx 4)`
= `16000(105/100)^(9/3)`
= `16000 xx (21/20)^3`
= `16000 xx 21/20 xx 21/20 xx 21/20`
= 18522
∴ Interest A – P = 18522 – 16000 = 2522
