Your comments will be displayed only after manual approval. In what time will a sum of money put at 15 simple interest triples itself?So the answer for your question is 13Y and 4 months.
At what rate percent of interest a sum of money becomes 6 times itself in 15 years?Detailed Solution
∴ The rate of interest is 33.33%.
What time if an amount becomes 3 times in 5 years then in how many years it would be 9 times through compounded interest and simple interest respectively?The money given becomes 3 times in 5 years. So we get the rate of interest as 40% , so the amount to become 9 times we have A= 9P, t=x, r=40% so. Therefore, it takes 20 years for the money to become 9 times through Simple Interest.
How many years will the sum becomes 5 times itself?A sum becomes 5 times of itself in 3 years. at compound interest (interest is compounded annually). Let the sum becomes 125 times in n years. ∴ In 9 years it will become 125 times.
