Question

In what time will a sum of money triple itself at the rate of 16%pa?

please answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

A sum of money triple itself at 16% p.a. at simple interest in 12.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sum of money be x

Amount = 3x

Simple interest = Amount - Principal = 3x

X=2x

Rate of interest = 16%

Si = PXT R 100

2x XxTx16 100

200 16 T

12.5 =T

Hence A sum of money triple itself at 16% p.a. at simple interest in 12.5 years

Answer 2

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount = 3x

SI =P×T*R/100

2×X×T×16/100

200*16/T

Hence,12.5 is correct answer
