Question 146

In how many years will a sum of money double itself at 25/4 simple interest per annum ?

Solution

For simple interest it, I (interest value) will be = $$\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$ (where P is principal amount, R is rate and T is time)
for Total amount to be double, interest value I will be = P
Hence putting values in formulae P = $$\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$ (put R = $$\frac{25}{4}$$)
we will get T = 16
