Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) ₹ \(39,148.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025\) \(N = 10 \times 2 = 20\) \(P = FV \frac{i}{((1+i)^N - 1)}\) \(P = 10,00,000 \times \frac{0.025}{((1.025)^{20} - 1)}\) \(P = 10,00,000 \times \frac{0.025}{(1.6386 - 1)}\) \(P = 10,00,000 \times \frac{0.025}{0.6386}\) \(P = 39148.1365\) ₹ \(39,148.1\)
