Question 14 Back to Exercise
The least number of complete years in which sum of money put out at 20% compound interest will be more than double is:

  • A 3
  • B 4 Correct
  • C 5
  • D 6
Correct Answer: Option B

P ( 1 + 20 ) n > 2P     ⇒     ( 6 ) n > 2.
100 5

Now, ( 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 ) > 2.
5 5 5 5

So, n = 4 years.
