Solution
Given that, the sum of money triples itself in 20 years
∴ P + I = 3P
∴ I = 2P
and T = 20 years
Now simple interest I = `"PRT"/100`
∴ 2P = `("P" xx "R" xx 20)/100`
∴ R = 10
∴ Rate of interest = 10% per annum
The time period is to be calculated for the condition that the sum doubles itself i.e. for the condition
P + I = 2P
i.e. I = P
i.e. `("P" xx "R" xx "T")/100 = "P"`
∴ `(10 xx "T")/100 = 1`
∴ T = 10
∴ The sum will become double of itself in 10 years.
