Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let principal = P,
Rate = 15% per annun
According to the question,
$ P{{( 1+\frac{15}{100} )}^{n}}>\frac{3}{2}P $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{( \frac{23}{20} )}^{n}}>\frac{3}{2} $
If $ n=3, $ then $ \frac{23}{20}\times \frac{23}{20}\times \frac{23}{20}>\frac{3}{2} $
So, option [a] is correct.
