A sum of ₹ $3,200$ invested at $10 \%$ per cent compounded quarterly amounts to ₹ $3,362.$ Compute the time period (In $years$)
A
$0.5$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$0.75$
Solution
(a) $A=P\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^{T} \Rightarrow \frac{3362}{3200}=\left(1+\frac{10}{400}\right)^{4 t}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1681}{1600}=\left(\frac{41}{40}\right)^{4 t} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{41}{40}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{41}{40}\right)^{4 t}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 4 t=2 \Rightarrow t=\frac{1}{2}$ year
