  1. A sum of money at simple interest trebles itself in 15 years. It will become 5 times of itself in

    1. 40 years
    2. 36 years
    3. 30 years
    4. 25 years

Correct Option: C

Let the principal be P.
Case-I

2P = P × R × 15
100

⇒ 2P = 2 × 100 = 40 %
15 3

Case-II
SI = 4P

∴ 4P = P × 40 × T
100

⇒ T= 4 × 300 = 30 yaers
40

Second method to solve this question :

R = (3 - 1) × 100%
15

R = 2 × 100% = 2 × 20%
15 15

R = 40 %
3

T = (n - 1) Years
R

T = (5 - 1) × 100
(40 ÷ 3)

T = 30 years.

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.
