The amount will be 9 times its principle in two years the rate if interest is

200
250
150
None of these

 

 

If,

A=PXNXR/100

900=100X2XR/100

R=900X100/100X2

  =450

But this answer is not there.

 

But,

If,

A=P(1+R/100)N

900=1OO(1+R/100)2

30=10(100+R/100)

30=100+R/10

300=100+R

therefore,

R=2OO
