We know the formula for compound interest-

\(\Rightarrow {\rm{CI}} = \left[ {{\rm{P}}\left\{ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{{\rm{R}}}{{100}}} \right)}^t} - 1} \right\}} \right]\)

Where,

CI = Compound interest

P = Principal

R = Rate of interest

t = Time period

\(\Rightarrow {\rm{Required\;CI}} = \left[ {4320\left\{ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{{13.5}}{{100}}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right\}} \right]\)

= 4320 × (1.1352 - 1) = Rs. 1245.132 ≈ Rs. 1245.13

∴ Required CI = Rs. 1245.13
