Question 52

Nitin’s money becomes double in 4 years at compound interest. In how many years will it become sixteen times at compound Interest?

Solution

Given$$ P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{4}$$=2P
$$(1+\frac{R}{100})^{4}$$=2
$$(1+\frac{R}{100})$$=$$2^{1/4}$$
 $$P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$$=16P
$$(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$$=$$2^{4}$$
$$(1+\frac{R}{100})$$=$$2^{4/n}$$
Therefore  4/n =1/4
n=16 years
