  • Options
  • A. 2years
  • B. 3years
  • C. 4years
  • D. 5years

  • Correct Answer
  • 3years

    Principal = Rs.1000;

    Amount = Rs.1331;

    Rate = Rs.10%p.a.

     

    Let the time be n years.Then

    [1000(1+10/100)?n;]

    = 1331.

    = (1331/1000)

    = (11/10)³

     

    Therefore n = 3 years.
