S = P(1+ i)^n.
S = 10000(1+0.1)^5.
S = 16105.1.

Interest per year will be 1000. So after 5 years it will be 5000.

Hence 10k + 5k = 15K.

Can you explain the above answer?

@Sandesha.

The question is specified with a term "compound basis".

A = P(1 + R/100)^5.
A = 10000(1 + 10/100)^5.
A = 10000 * (1.1)^5.
A = 16105.

A = P(1+R/100)^5,
A = 10000(1+10/100)^5,
A = 10000*(1.1)^5,
A = 16105.
