Detailed Solution

Given,
Principal (P)=Rs 16000 Rate (R)=12 1 2  % p.a. 12.5 % p.a. Time (T)=3 years  
The amount can be calculated by using formula
A=P 1+ R 100 n A=16000 1+ 12.5 100 3 A=16000 1+ 125 1000 3 A=16000 1125 1000 3  
A=  Rs 22781.25
Compound interest (CI),
CI=AP CI=Rs 22781.25Rs 16000 CI=Rs 6781.25   Therefore, the Compound interest is Rs 6781.25.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
