      Question

      A certain sum doubles in 9 years at certain rate of simple

      interest. The same sum under the same interest rate will become 4 times of itself in how many years?
      A 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 27 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the sum invested be Rs. ‘x’ and rate of interest be ‘r’ p.a.
      According to the question,
      (x × r × 9)/100 = 2x – x
      Or, r = 100/9
      Therefore, when interest = 4x – x = Rs. 3x, then time will be
      (x × t × 100)/(9 × 100) = 3x
      Or, t = 27 years
