In how many years will a sum of ₹320 amount to ₹405 if interest is compounded at 12.5% per annum? |
2 years 1 year $2\frac{1}{2}$ years $1\frac{1}{2}$ years |
2 years |
Formula used- Amount = P$(1 \;+\; \frac{R}{100})^t$ Here, Compound interest = Rs 320 , Amount = 405 , R = 12.5%, time = t years 405 = 320$(1 \;+\; \frac{12.5}{100})^t$ ⇒ \(\frac{405}{320}\) =[$(\frac{9}{8})^t $] ⇒ \(\frac{81}{64}\) = [$(\frac{9}{8})^t $] ⇒ t = 2 years So, time is 2 years. |
