Question 65

The compound interest on ₹40,000 at 6% per annum is ₹4,944. What is the period (in years) for which the amount is invested?

Solution

$$P((1+\frac{R}{100}))^{n}-P$$=4944

$$40000((1+\frac{R}{100}))^{n}-1)$$=4944

$$((1+\frac{6}{100}))^{n}-1)$$=4944/40000

$$(\frac{53}{50})^{n}-1)$$=4944/40000

$$(\frac{53}{50})^{n}$$=44944/40000

$$(\frac{53}{50})^{n}$$=$$(\frac{212}{200})^{2}$$

$$(\frac{53}{50})^{n}$$=$$(\frac{53}{50})^{2}$$
