    In what time will Rs. 10000 amount to Rs. 13310 at 20% per annum compounded half yearly?

    A)  \[1\frac{1}{2}\,\,yr\]

    B)  \[2\,\,yr\]

    C)  \[2\frac{1}{2}\,\,yr\]

    D)  \[3\,\,yr\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The rate of interest is compounded half yearly,
    \[\therefore \]      r = 10% per half year
    Let time \[=\frac{T}{2}\]year = half year
    According to the question,
    Amount = Principal \[{{\left( 1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100} \right)}^{\text{Time}}}\]
    \[13310=10000{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{T}}\Rightarrow \frac{13310}{10000}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{T}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{T}}=\frac{1331}{1000}\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{T}}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      T = 3 half yr\[=1\frac{1}{2}\]yr
