Solution
Let P = Rs.100, A = Rs.200
I = Rs.200 − Rs.100 = Rs.100, T = 8 years
R =`(100xx"I")/("P"xx"T")=(100xx100)/(100xx8)`
`=100/8=25/2%`
Now again P = Rs.100
A = Rs.300
I = Rs.300 − Rs.100 = Rs.200
R = `25/2%`
T =`(100xx"I")/("P"xx"R")=(100xx200)/(100xx25/2)=(100xx200xx2)/(100xx25)`
= 16 Years
So the given sum of money will become triple in 16 years.
