The compound interest on ₹18,000 at 7% per annum, compounded annually, is ₹1,260. What is the period of time?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Formulas used here is :-
Amount = Principal + Interest
Amount = P$(1 \;+\; \frac{R}{100})^t$
( 18000 + 1260 ) = 18000 [ 1 + \(\frac{7}{100}\) ]t
\(\frac{19260}{18000}\) = [ \(\frac{107}{100}\) ]t
\(\frac{107}{100}\) = [ \(\frac{107}{100}\) ]t
So, t = 1 year
