B.
N136.30K
C.
N125.40K
D.
N257.42K
Correct Answer: N136.30K
Explanation
A=P(1+r/100)n
Where P = 126, r = 4, n = 2
A=126 (1+4/100)2 Using LCM
=126 ((100+4/)100)2 = 126(104/100)2
=126 (1.042)
= 126 * 1.04 * 1.04
=136.28
A = 136.30 (approx.)
The Amount A, = N136.30k
A=P(1+r/100)n
Where P = 126, r = 4, n = 2
A=126 (1+4/100)2 Using LCM
=126 ((100+4/)100)2 = 126(104/100)2
=126 (1.042)
= 126 * 1.04 * 1.04
=136.28
A = 136.30 (approx.)
The Amount A, = N136.30k
