- 2) 8 years
One year's Simple interest to Ruchika=20*0.12=2.4 L
At the end of 7 years
Simple interest to Ruchika=20*0.12*7=16.8 L
At Compound interest Poorva's amount=20*(1.1)^7=38.97 L
Poorva's accumulated interest=18.97, So difference of interest 18.97-16.8=2.17 L
At the end of 8 years
Simple interest to Ruchika=20*0.12*8=19.2 L
At Compound interest Poorva's amount=20*(1.1)^8=42.8717 L
Poorva's accumulated interest=22.8717,
So difference of interest 22.8717-19.2=3.6717 L, which is more than 2.4 Lakhs
