Rs. 50,000 yields a compound interest of Rs. 11,605 at 11% per annum. The period (in years) is:1. 2 years2. 3 years3. 4 years4. 2(1/2) years

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2 years

Given:

Principal (P) = Rs.50,000

C.I. = Rs.11,605

Rate (R) = 11%

Formula used:

A = P(1 + R/100)n

Where A → amount

P → principal

R → rate 

n → time

Calculations:

Amount = 50000 + 11605 = Rs. 61,605

A = P(1 + R/100)n

⇒ 61605 = 50000(1 + 11/100)n

⇒ (111/100)= 61605/50000

⇒ (111/100)= 12321/10000

⇒ (111/100)= (111/100)2

⇒ n = 2

∴ The time period is 2 years.
