Respuesta :

Answer:

Rate of interest will be 3 %

And number of periods will be 8

So option (a) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given rate of interest = 12 %

And time period = 2 years

We have rate of interest is the money is compounded quarterly

When money is compounded then we divide the rate of interest by 4 and multiply time period by 4

So rate of interest for quarterly will be [tex]=\frac{12}{4}=3[/tex] %

And number of periods will be [tex]=2\times 4=8period[/tex]

So option (a) will be the correct answer
