Correct Answer: 20 years


Solution : Let the sum be P.
Total amount after 10 years = 2P
Simple Interest in 10 years = 2P – P = P
If total amount = 3P,
Simple Interest = 2P
Using the unitary method,
Since, in 10 years interest is P
Therefore, 2P interest will be received in 20 years.
Hence, the correct answer is 20 years.
