    In what time will Rs. 1000 amount to 1 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: D

    Solution :

    Given that, \[P=Rs.1000A=Rs.1331,\] \[r=20%\] \[\text{n}\,\text{=}\,\text{t}\,\,\text{(say) }\] For half yearly \[r=10%\] per half year \[n=2t\] half years \[\therefore \]      \[1331=1000{{\left( 1+\frac{10}{100} \right)}^{2t}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{11}{10} \right)}^{2t}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3=2t\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[t=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}yr\]
