Ann Theressa  (10 years ago)

A = P(1+R/100)^n
since amount becomes 144/121 times principal in 2 yrs

144/121*P = P(1+R/100)^2

(12/11)^2 = (1+R/100)^2

1+R/100 = 12/11

R = 100/11

In the case of simple interest the amount becomes three times (ie 3P)

A=P+I
3P= P + PNR/100
PNR/100 = 2P
N=200/R
= 200*11/100 = 22years

time taken will be 22 year.
if sum of money becomes 144/121 aftr 2 yr at CI....that means rate would be 100/11 p.a.

acc to SI
200=1*100/11*t
nw aftr solving t=22 years
