Correct Answer - Option 2 : 40 years Show
Given: Sum doubles itself in ten years Concept: Simple interest = (Principle × Rate × Time)/100 Calculation: ⇒ Let the sum be P rupee and Rate of interest be R% per annum ⇒ P × (R/100) × 10 = 2P – P = P ⇒ R = 10 ⇒ Let us say it will take T years for it to become 5 times itself ⇒ P × (R/100) × T = 4P, T = 40 ∴ The required result will be 40 years.
