    A) 10

    B) 8

    C) 5

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] r = x%, P = Rs. 3000, A = Rs. 3993, t = 3 years \[\therefore \]      \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{t}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3993=3000{{\left( 1+\frac{x}{100} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{3993}{3000}={{\left( 1+\frac{x}{100} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( 1+\frac{x}{100} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{1331}{1000}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1+\frac{x}{100}=\frac{11}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{x}{100}=\frac{11}{10}-1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{x}{100}=\frac{1}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{100}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=10\]
