Question 41
A sum of money doubles itself in 8 years at compound interest. In how many years will it become 4 times of itself?
Step-by-Step Solution
Compare the required amount with the principal using the compound-growth factor to determine the number of compounding periods.
Apply the formula and calculate:
$4 = 2^2$. Time = 2 * 8 = 16 years.
Therefore, the required result is 16 years.
