  1. Here,
    Principal (P) = ₹ 8000,
    Time (n) = 1 years = 2 half-years(compounded half yearly)
    Rate of interest (R) = 9% = (9/2)% (compounded half yearly)
    Amount (A) = P (1+R/100)ⁿ = 8000(1+9/2×100)² = 8000(1+9/200)²
    = 8000(209/200)² = 8000 x 209/200 x 209/200 = ₹ 8,736.20
    Compound Interest (C.I.) = A – P = ₹ 8736.20 – ₹ 8000 = ₹ 736.20
