compound interest of rs . 6000 at 10 % per annum for 1 1 / 2 years will be ( interest compounded half yearly ) .
"10 % interest per annum will be 5 % interest half yearly for 3 terms ( 1 1 / 2 years ) so compound interest = 6000 [ 1 + ( 5 / 100 ) ] ^ 3 - 6000 = 6000 [ ( 21 / 20 ) ^ 3 - 1 ] = 6000 ( 9261 - 8000 ) / 8000 = 6 * 1261 / 8 = 945 answer : d"
