Compound Interest

Question:

A sum of money becomes \(\frac{768}{243}\) times of itself in 4 years. Find the rate of interest if compounded annually.

Options:

22.22 %

33.33 %

25 %

28 %

Correct Answer:

33.33 %

Explanation:

A = P (1+ \(\frac{R}{100}\))4                            

\(\frac{768}{243}\) = (1+ \(\frac{R}{100}\))4      

\(\frac{256}{81}\) = (1+ \(\frac{R}{100}\))4

(\(\frac{4}{3}\))4 =   (1+ \(\frac{R}{100}\))4

\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{R}{100}\)

R = \(\frac{100}{3}\) = 33.33 %
