At what per cent annual compound interest, rate, a certain sum amounts to its 27 times in 3 yr?

Correct Answer: 200%

Explanation:

Let sum = P
and given that n = 3 yr
According to the question,
Amount = 27 P
According to the formula,
Amount = P (1 + R/100)n
⇒ 27 P = P (1 + R/100)3
⇒ 27 = (1 + R/100)3
⇒ (1 + R/100)3 = (3)3
⇒ 1 + R/100 = 3
⇒ R/100 = 3 - 1 = 2
∴ R = 200%
