    A sum of money triples itself in 15 years 6 months. In how many years would it double itself?                                 

    A)  6 years 3 months

    B)  7 years 9 months  

    C)  8 years 3 months

    D)  9 years 6 months

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let sum =x. Then, S.I. \[=2x\]and Time \[=\frac{31}{2}\]years. Rate \[=\left( \frac{100\times 2x}{x}\times \frac{2}{31} \right)%=\left( \frac{400}{31} \right)%\] Now    sum == x, S.I. = x and Rate \[=\left( \frac{400}{31} \right)%\] \[\therefore \]  Time \[=\left( \frac{100\times x}{x}\times \frac{31}{400} \right)\] years
