What is the compound interest on a sum of ₹10,000 at 14% p.a. for $$2\frac{5}{7}$$ years where the interest is compounded yearly? (nearest to ₹1)
Given that,
Principle amount (P)=10,000Rs.
Rate of interest $$=14\%$$
Time $$=2\frac{5}{7}=2+\dfrac{5}{7}$$
We know that $$A=P(1+\dfrac{R}{100})^n$$
$$\Rightarrow A=10,000(1+\dfrac{14}{100})^2(1+\dfrac{5\times14}{100\times 7})$$
$$\Rightarrow A=10,000(1.14)^2(1+0.1)$$
$$\Rightarrow A=10,000(1.14)^2(1.1)=14295.6$$Rs.
Hence the required profit $$14295.6-10000=4295.6\cong4296$$Rs.
