Detailed Solution

Given that,
Principal (P) = Rs 80000,
Rate (R) = 10% per annum compounded half yearly,
Number of years (n) = 1 1 2   years
We know that,
Amount=principal 1+ R 100 Time  
Then,
Amount=principal 1+ R 100 Time Amount=80000 1+ 10 100 1 Amount=80000 100+10 100 1 Amount=80000 110 100 1 Amount=80000× 11 10 Amount=Rs.88000  
Calculate the interest for 1 year,
Interest = Amount – Principal
 Interest = (88000 – 80000)
 Interest = 8000
Interest for 1 year = Rs 8000.
Simple interest for next 1 2   year
P= amount in previous year = 88000,
R= 10%,
Time= 1 2  year
We know that,
SI= PRT 100 SI= 88000×10× 1 2 100 SI=Rs.4400  
Now, calculate interest after 3 2   years.
Interest after 1 1 2   years = Compound interest for 1 year - Simple interest for next 1 2   year
 Interest = 8000 – 4400
 Interest = Rs.12400
Also calculating amount,
Amount = principal + interest
Amount= 80000+ 12400  Amount=Rs. 92400  
Hence, amount after 1 1 2   years is Rs 92400.
Therefore, the answer is option (4).
