years will it become 8 times at the 

same rate of compound interest? 

(a) 15 years 

(c) 5 years 

Ans: (a) 15 years 

(b) 10 years 

(d) 3 years 

Short-cut 

If a sum becomes x times in y 

years at CI then it will be x (n) 

times in ny years 

Solution: 

2 times in 5 years 

8 times 2 (3) in 3 x 5 = 15 years
