1. Rs 100 invested at 8.5% gives you Rs 108.5 at the end of the year.
2. Then Rs 108.5 invested at 9.5% gives you Rs 118.81 at the end of the period (=108.5 x (1 + .095))
3. Then Rs 118.81 invested at 13.56% gives you Rs 134.92 ( = 118.81 x 1.1356) by the end of the period.
So, Rs 100 becomes Rs 134.92 in 3 years. Implying a return of 10.5%. Calculated as:
= (134.92/100)^(1/3) x 100.
