    Question

    In how many years will a sum of Rs. 10,000 become Rs. 13,310 at 10% compound interest per annum, compounded annually?

    A.

    5

    B.

    2

    C.

    4

    D.

    3

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Principal = Rs. 10000

    Amount  = Rs. 13310

    Rate of interest = 10% per annum

    Formula used:

    A=P(1+R100)nA=P(1+\frac{R}{100})n​​

    Where, A = Amount,

    C.I = Compound Interest, 

    P = Principle,

    r = Rate of interest

    and n = Time.

    Calculation:

    =>13310=10000(1+10100)n =>1331010000=(1110)n =>(1110)3=(1110)n =>n=3=> 13310=10000(1+\frac{10}{100})^n\\\ \\=>\frac{13310}{10000}=(\frac{11}{10})^n\\\ \\=>(\frac{11}{10})^3=(\frac{11}{10})^n\\\ \\=> n = 3​​

    Hence, after 3 yearsthe sum of Rs. 10,000 become Rs. 13,310.
