Question : In how many years will Rs. 40000 amounts to Rs. 46656 at the rate of 8% compound interest per annum.
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given that Total amount = Rs. 46656, Principal = Rs. 40000, and Rate = 8% Let time be $n$ years. We know that, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒46656 = 40000 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{46656}{40000}=\left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{11664}{10000}=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $⇒ (\frac{108}{100})^2=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $\therefore n=2$ Hence, the
