Accumulated sum at the end of 5 years, if Rs. 10000 is invested now at 10% interest per annum on a compound basis is Rs ?

Correct answer: B. 16105

  • A. 15000
  • B. 16105
  • C. 18105
  • D. 12500

Explanation

For compound interest, the accumulated amount is P(1+i)^n = 10000(1.10)^5 = approximately Rs. 16,105. Simple interest would give only Rs. 15,000, which is the tempting distractor.
