Answer

Given,

P = ₹ 6,000

r1 = 10%

r2 = 12%

n = 2 years

By formula,

Amount = P×(1+r1100)×(1+r2100)P \times \Big(1 + \dfrac{r1}{100}\Big) \times \Big(1 + \dfrac{r2}{100}\Big)

Substituting the values in formula,

A=6000×(1+10100)×(1+12100)A=6000×(100+10100)×(100+12100)A=6000×(110100)×(112100)A=6000×(1110)×(2825)A=6000×11×2810×25A=7,392.\Rightarrow A = 6000 \times \Big(1 + \dfrac{10}{100}\Big) \times \Big(1 + \dfrac{12}{100}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 6000 \times \Big(\dfrac{100 + 10}{100}\Big) \times \Big(\dfrac{100 + 12}{100}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 6000 \times \Big(\dfrac{110}{100}\Big) \times \Big(\dfrac{112}{100}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = 6000 \times \Big(\dfrac{11}{10}\Big) \times \Big(\dfrac{28}{25}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = \dfrac{6000 \times 11 \times 28}{10 \times 25} \\[1em] \Rightarrow A = ₹ 7,392.

Hence, option 4 is correct option.
