    A.

    4 years

    B.

    2 years

    C.

    25 years

    D.

    35 years

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Principal (P) = ₹80,000
    Amount (A) = ₹1,17,128
    Rate of interest (r) = 10% per annum
    Formula Used:

    A=P(1+r100)tA = P \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100} \right)^t\\ 

    A = Amount
    P = Principal amount
    r = Rate of interest
    n = Time

    Solution:

    1,17,128=80,000(1+10100)t1,17,12880,000=(1+10100)t1,17,12880,000=(1110)t(1110)t=14,64110,000(1110)t=(1110)4t=4 years1,17,128 = 80,000 \left( 1 + \frac{10}{100} \right)^t \\\frac{1,17,128}{80,000} = \left( 1 + \frac{10}{100} \right)^t \\\frac{1,17,128}{80,000} = \left( \frac{11}{10} \right)^t\\\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)^t = \frac{14,641}{10,000} \\\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)^t = \left( \frac{11}{10} \right)^4 \\t = 4 \, \text{years}
