Options:

2

$2\frac{1}{2}$

3

4

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

In compound interest

A = P( 1+ \(\frac{r}{100}\))n

A = P + CI

30000 + 9930 = 30000( 1+ \(\frac{r}{100}\))n

39930 = 30000( 1+ \(\frac{10}{100}\))n

\(\frac{1331}{1000}\) =  \(\frac{11}{10}\))n

(\(\frac{11}{10}\))³ =  \(\frac{11}{10}\))n

on comparing ,

n = 3

The correct answer is option (3) : 3
