    C)  2 yr                             

    D)  \[3\frac{1}{2}\]               

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the required time be n years. Then, \[1331=100{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\left[ \therefore {{P}_{1}}=P{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{1331}{1000}={{\left( \frac{10+1}{10} \right)}^{n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{n}}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n=3\]
