Option 1: 18 years
Option 2: 12 years
Option 3: 20 years
Option 4: 15 years
Correct Answer: 15 years
Solution : Given: The compound interest of a certain sum becomes 2 times itself in 5 years. We know, $\text{Total Amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ According to the question, $2P=P[1+\frac{R}{100}]^5$ ⇒ $2=[1+\frac{R}{100}]^5$-------------(1) The number of years it becomes 8 times itself, So, $8P=P[1+\frac{R}{100}]^T$ ⇒ $2^3=[1+\frac{R}{100}]^T$----------------(2) From equation (1) and equation
