Rs. 800 at 5% per annum compounds interest amount to 882 in?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
In compound interest,
Amount = Principal × ( 1 + \(\frac{R}{100}\) )n
882 = 800 × ( 1 + \(\frac{5}{100}\) )t
\(\frac{441}{400}\) = ( \(\frac{21}{20}\) )t
( \(\frac{21}{20}\) )² = ( \(\frac{21}{20}\) )t
So, t = 2
The correct answer is Option (4) → 2 years
