`6000 become at the end of 6 years at the same compound interest. In how many years would the
rate of simple interest, under at? sum become 9 times itself at the same rate of
compound interest?
Sol: Amount = Principal + Interest
Principal (P) = `4000 and amount (A) = `4800. Sol: Let P be the sum. Then amount at the end of

For P = `6000, n = 6, and r = 10%, P

= ` 3600
. If we say 1 + = R, then we have R4 = 3.
I= 100 100
Therefore, `6000 becomes `6000 + `3600 Now, since the sum has to become 9 times, the
