Question : A sum of money becomes double in 3 years at compound interest compounded annually. At the same rate, in how many years will it become four times of itself?
Option 1: 4 years
Option 2: 6 years
Option 3: 6.4 years
Option 4: 7.5 years
Correct Answer: 6 years
Solution : Given: A sum of money becomes double in 3 years at compound interest compounded annually. If $P$ becomes $xP$ in $n$ years then $P$ becomes $x^kP$ in $kn$ years when interest is compounded annually. Let the sum be P. After 3 years, P becomes 2P. Then P becomes 2 2 P in 2 × 3 = 6 years. Hence, the correct answer is 6 years.
