    A sum of Rs. 3200 invested at 10% per annum compounded quarterly amounts to Rs. 3362. Then, the time period is

    A)  2 months                     

    B)  4 months

    C)  6 months         

    D)  8 months

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here, P = Rs. 3200
    Let time = t yr
    \[\Rightarrow \]   n = 4t
    R = 10% per annum \[=\frac{10}{4}%\]quarterly
    T = ?
    A = Rs. 3362 \[\Rightarrow \]3362 = 3200\[{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{400} \right)}^{n}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{3362}{3200}={{\left( \frac{410}{400} \right)}^{n}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1681}{1600}={{\left( \frac{41}{40} \right)}^{n}}\]
    \[{{\left( \frac{41}{40} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{41}{40} \right)}^{n}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   n = 2
    \[\Rightarrow \]   4t = 2 quarter year
    t \[=\frac{1}{2}\]quarter year
    t \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 12=6\]months
