    In how many years will a sum of Rs. 800 at 10% per annum compounded semi-annually become\[Rs.926.10\]?

    A)  \[2\frac{1}{2}\] years           

    B)  3 years

    C)  2 years         

    D)       \[1\frac{1}{2}\] years

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Rate = 10% Per annum = 5% per half year Time =T years = 2T half years \[\therefore \]   \[A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[926.10=800{{\left( 1+\frac{5}{100} \right)}^{2T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{926.10}{800}={{\left( 1+\frac{1}{20} \right)}^{2T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{9261}{8000}={{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{2T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{2T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[2T=3\Rightarrow T=\frac{3}{2}\] years
