A certain sum of money become double of itself in 6 years on simple interest. In how much time it will be 10 times of itself.1. 56 years2. 55 years3. 54 years4. 53 years

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 54 years

Given:

Time = 6 years

Formula used:

SI = (P x R x T)/100,

Amount = SI + P

where,

P → Principal,

R → Rate of Interest,

T → Time Period of the Loan/deposit in years,

S.I. → Simple Interest

Calculation:

Let, the P = x, A = 2x

⇒ SI = A - P

⇒ SI = 2x - x = x

⇒ x = (x x R x 6)/100

⇒ R = 50/3%

In 10 times Let, P = x, A = 10x

⇒ SI = 10x - x = 9x

⇒ SI = 9x

⇒  9x = (x x 50 x T)/100 × 3

⇒ T = 54 years

∴ It will take 54 years to become 10 times of itself.
