Detailed Solution

Given,
Principal (P)=Rs 8000 Rate (R)=20% p.a. Time (T)=9 months  
Compound interest can be evaluated by Amount-Principal;
Also, rate of interest compounded quarterly = 20 4 %per quarter year  
 Time (T) will also be taken quarterly that is,
  T=4× 9 12 3  
The formula to calculate the amount is given by,
A=P 1+ R 100 n                          (1)  
Where A=  Amount, P=  Principal, R=  Rate, n=  Time.
Substitute the given value in equation (1) and solve for amount A,
A=8000 1+ 20 4×100 3 A=8000 1.05 3 A=8000×1.1576 A=9260.8 A9261  
Therefore, the amount after 3 quarter Rs. (9 months) is A=  Rs. 9261.
Calculating compound interest,
CI=AP CI=9261  8000 CI=Rs 1261   Thus, the compound interest is Rs.1261.
Therefore, option (1) is correct.
