As per the given data,

Principal p = Rs. 10,000

Rate R = 20%

Time period n = 2 years

We know that for half yearly A = p × [1 + (R/2)/100]2n

⇒ A = 10,000 × [1 + (20/2)/100]2 × 2

= 10000 × (1.1)4

= 10000 × 1.4641

= Rs. 14641

∴ Amount after 2 years if the rate of interest is charged half yearly = Rs. 14641
