Question

If a principal is getting doubled after 4 years, then calculate the rate of interest. (Hint: Let P = ₹ 100)

Sum

Solution

Let the principal P = ₹ 100

Given it is doubled after 4 years

i.e. Time n = 4 years

After 4 years A = ₹ 200

∴ A = P + I

A – P = I

200 – 100 = I

After 4 years interest I = 100

I = `"Pnr"/100`

⇒ 100 = `(100 xx 4 xx "r")/100`

4r = 100

⇒ r = 25%

Rate of interest r = 25%
