In what time will Rs. 1000 become Rs. 1331 at 10% per annum compounded annually?

1years
2years
3years
4years

Correct Answer: 3years

Explanation:

Principal = Rs. 1000; Amount = Rs. 1331; Rate = 10% p.a. Let the time be n years. Then,
[ 1000 (1+ (10/100))^n ] = 1331 or (11/10)^n = (1331/1000) = (11/10)^3
n = 3 years
