Solution

Amount when interest is compounded quarterly

=> $A = P (1 + \frac{\frac{R}{4}}{100})^{4T}$

= $1,25,000 (1 + \frac{\frac{8}{4}}{100})^{4 \times \frac{3}{4}}$

= $1,25,000 (1 + \frac{1}{50})^3$

= $1,25,000 \times \frac{51}{50} \times \frac{51}{50} \times \frac{51}{50}$

= $51 \times 51 \times 51 = $Rs. $1,32,651$

$\therefore$ C.I. = $1,32,651 - 1,25,000$

= Rs. $7,651$
