In how many years the compound interest on Rs. 10,000 at the rate of 10% will be Rs. 2,100?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2 Years
Compound interest formula:
$A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^t$
Where:
- $P$ (Principal): Rs. 10,000
- $CI$ (Compound Interest): Rs. 2,100
- $A$ (Total Amount): $P + CI = 10,000 + 2,100 =$ Rs. 12,100
- $R$ (Rate): 10%
Substituting the values into the formula:
$12,100 = 10,000 \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^t$$
Divide both sides by 10,000:
$\frac{12,100}{10,000} = (1.1)^t$
$1.21 = (1.1)^t$
Since $(1.1)^2 = 1.21$, we can see that:
$t = 2$
Therefore, the correct choice is 2 Years.
