The compound interest on Rs. 30,000 at 7% per annum is Rs. 4347. The period (in years) is:
2
2 1
2
3
4
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Amount = Rs. (30000 + 4347) = Rs. 34347.

Let the time be n years.

Then, 30000 1 + 7 n = 34347
100

107 n = 34347 = 11449 = 107 2
100 30000 10000 100

n = 2 years.

30000*7/100 = 2100 for 1rst year.
For 2nd year : 30000+2100*7/100 = 2247.

Now, cross-check the given calculated amount given in the question itself i.e 4347 rupees by adding 2 years amount (2100+2247)=4347.

Believe this is the fastest and tricky method of our natural mind.

Verify with given option.
CI =7 %
1ST YEAR 7%.

For 2nd year, it becomes 7.49
Total 14.49
If 100% = 30K.
Then 114.49 = ?
(114.49 * 30K)÷100.

And you will get 4347.

34347=30000(1+0.07)^n.
1.1449=(1.07)^n.
Using log in both the side.
log1.1449=n * log1.07.
n=log1.1449/log1.07.
n=2 years.
