Q:

The minimum number of half years in which a sum of money kept at 60% compound interest will be quadrupled is ?

A) 2 B) 4
C) 3 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI

 First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160

 Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256

 Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6

 Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.

 One year contains 2 half years

 Three year has 6 half years.

 Therefore,  It takes 6 half years.
