The compound interest on certain sum of the one year is double of the sum itself find the rate of interest.
Simply Annual compound interest(A) equals,
A = P( 1 + r/100) ^t
Where P = your initial sum
r = rate of interest %age
t = time of investment
Since in this question, A = 2*P, t = 8
We get,
2*P = P(1+r/100)^8
2 = ( 1 + r/100)^8
Taking log both sides
Log(2) = 8*Log(1+r/100)
Since log2 ~. 301
.301/8 = log(1+r/100)
.037625 = log(1+r/100)
1.09049831 = 1 + r/100
r/100 = .09049831
r = 9.049831
Thus at 9.049831% rate of interest the sum will double itself if compounded annually for 8 years.
