Rs. 12000 deposited on compound interest becomes double in 5 years. If it is deposited for 20 years on same compound interest, then this amount becomes
1. Rs. 129000
2. Rs. 219000
3. Rs. 921000
4. Rs. 192000
1. Rs. 129000
2. Rs. 219000
3. Rs. 921000
4. Rs. 192000
Correct Answer – Option 4 : Rs. 192000
Given:
Rs. 12000 becomes double of itself in 5 years when it is compounded.
Formula used:
Amount(A) = P[1 + (R/100)]T
P = Principal
R = Rate of interest
T = Time
Calculation:
P = Rs. 12000
According to the question:
2P = P[1 + (R/100)]5
⇒ 2 = [1 + (R/100)]5
If it is deposited for 20 years, then amount will be given by:
A = P[1 + (R/100)]20
⇒ A = 12000[1 + (R/100)]5 × 4
⇒ A = 12000(2)4
⇒ A = 12000 × 16 = 192000
∴ The amount will become Rs. 192000 in 20 years
