Options:

5

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

Principal = Rs.30000, Rate = 7%pa, C.I. = Rs.4347

Amount = 30000 + 4347 = Rs.34347

Amount = P(1 + \(\frac{r}{100}\))t

34347 = 30000 (1 + \(\frac{7}{100}\))t

11449 = 10000 (\(\frac{107}{100}\))t

(\(\frac{107}{100}\))2 = (\(\frac{107}{100}\))t

t = 2 years
