    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Let Principal = Rs. P and Rate = R% p.a. Then,

     

    Amount = Rs.[P\( (1+\frac { R } { 100} ) ^4]\)

     

     

         C.I  =  p [ \( (1+\frac { R } { 100} ) ^4-1]\)

     

    P[\( (1+\frac { R } { 100} ) ^4-1]\)=1491

     

    Clearly, it does not give the answer.
