  • Question
  • The minimum number of half years in which a sum of money kept at 60% compound interest will be quadrupled is ?


  • Options
  • A. 2
  • B. 4
  • C. 3
  • D. 6

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI

     First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160

     Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256

     Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6

     Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.

     One year contains 2 half years

     Three year has 6 half years.

     Therefore,  It takes 6 half years.
