    In what time will Rs. 1000 amount to Rs. 1331 at 20% per annum, compounded half yearly?

    A)  \[1\frac{1}{2}\]yr

    B)  2 yr

    C)  1 yr

    D)  \[2\frac{1}{2}\]yr

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the required lime = t years
    Interest is compounded half yearly.
    \[\therefore \]Time = 2t half years and rate \[=\frac{20}{2}=10%\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[1000{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2t}}=1331\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2t}}=\frac{1331}{1000}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2t}}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2t=3\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[t=\frac{3}{2}\text{yr}\]
