Question:

Mithali has an initial investment of ₹10 lakh in an investment plan. After 7 years it has grown to ₹ 16 lakh. The rate of return for the period is :

Options:

160%

260%

60%

30%

Correct Answer:

60%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 60%

The compound interest,

$A=P(1+r)^t$

$⇒(\frac{A}{P})=(1+r)^t$

$⇒(\frac{16}{10})=(1+r)^7$

$⇒1.6=(1+r)^7$

$⇒1+r=(1.6)^{\frac{1}{7}}$

$⇒r=60\%$
