At what rate a sum doubles itself in 8 year 4 months?

Answer»

Let the principle be P 

then A = 2P 

T =8 years 4 months = 8y \(\frac {4}{12}\) y = 8 \(\frac13\) years

R = R% say 

We know that

I = \(\frac {PTR}{100}\) 

Here I = A – P 

= 2P – P = P 

∴ P = \(\frac {P.\frac {25}{3}\times R}{100}\)

∴ R = 100 x \(\frac {3}{25}\) = 12%
