    The time in which Rs.80,000 amounts to Rs.92,610 at 10% p.a. at compound Interest, interest being compounded semi-annually is:

    A)  \[1\frac{1}{2}\]years      

    B)  2 years

    C)  \[2\frac{1}{2}\]years     

    D)  3 years

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Time = \[t\]half year = R = 5% per half year \[\therefore \,\,A=P{{\left( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right)}^{T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{92610}{80000}={{\left( 1+\frac{5}{100} \right)}^{T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{9261}{8000}={{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{T}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,T=3\]half years \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{21}{20} \right)}^{T}}\]
