Detailed Solution

Concept- Since the rate is compounded annually, we will use the formula for compound interest which is: A=P 1 r 100 n  
where, A = Compound interest
P = Principal amount
R = Rate of depreciation
n = no. of years
Here,
P = Rs. 42,000
R = 8% per annum
n = 1 year
So, the equation becomes:
A=42000 1 8 100 1 A=4200042000× 8 100 A=420003360 A=38640  
Hence, the correct option is 3) Rs. 38640
