Correct Answer: 3
Solution :
Rate, R = 10%
Principal amount, P = Rs. 2,000
Compound interest, CI = Rs. 662
When compounded annually, Compound interest after n years = $P[(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n} –1)]$
⇒ $662 = 2000[(1+\frac{10}{100})^{n} –1)]$
⇒ $2662 = 2000(1+\frac{10}{100})^{n})$
⇒ $1.331= (1.1)^{n}$
⇒ $n = 3$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 3 years.
